Hey, I failed a class, and got a series of C's in some classes, and one A, my freshman year, first semester. 2nd semester should be quite an improvement, and after having been in college for a year, I know I could kick ass in the sophomore, junior, and senior years. However, still, the damage has been done. Should I give up my dream of doing medicine? If I can get my Cum., including a bad first semester, back to a 3.4 or 3.6, will I get in? I know I could do well on the MCAT b/c I'd study hardcore. Please advise me with reality...thank you.

I don't think you're doomed at all. You might want to retake the class you failed, especially if it was a pre-med class. You will need to do very well during the rest of your college years to get your GPA up to a 3.5 and do well on the MCATs. However, schools will forgive poor performance in 1st year classes, as long as you steadily improve after that. And don't forget to enjoy yourself in college and get some research/clinical exposure to medicine.

Good luck
