Pre-Med Student GPA for Medical School

[imsmartbutmygpasucks]

Help. I am about to enter my sophomore year of college and my current GPA is a 3.1. I had a rough freshman year and recently took Chem 2 over the summer and received a C. At my college, you can retake the class and have the grade replaced; however, I want to know if it is advisable to move on and take Orgo instead of retaking Chem 2.

My end goal is med school. I have pretty good outside the classroom life-clinical research at a hospital/medical school, service organization, and a mentor to incoming freshman.

I know my GPA isn't stellar but I truly believe that this path is for me, I want to be a doctor and I want to see myself entering medical school. Please give me your honest opinion!

Start acing things and you'll be fine.

The median GPA for MD acceptees is 3.7. About 3.3+ for DO schools.

So should I re-take it or no? @Goro

Thank you! I'm going to continue on to Orgo and hopefully kick ass in it and the rest of my classes.
