At the beginning of the semester I was off to a solid start; towards the end, I had solid A's in all of my courses except one, in which I had an A-. I procrastinated for all of my final exams, and as a result, my grades dropped significantly. In my biology course, I had a solid 97 average going into the final, and my final exam grade was apparently significant enough to drop me down to a B (keeping in mind that my school is on the +/- system). I was just so burnt out from tripling up in lab sciences that I couldn't harness the energy to study for any of my finals, especially biology since it was my last. Overall for the semester, I ended up with a 3.459 GPA. This brings my overall college GPA to a 3.41 and my AMCAS GPA (more screw ups from high school dual credit) to a 3.339 at the end of my sophomore year.
I'm extremely upset about my performance for the semester. My GPA is a disaster and now I have one year to raise it above a 3.5. In order to do so, I think I will have to resort to taking summer courses at the local CC where I completed dual-enrollment to help balance out the low grades in that department. The only issue is that I will be participating in a research program over the summer. I know there are several courses that I can take for easy A's (psychology, spanish, beginning typewriting, etc.), to help raise my GPA. My school offers a lot of these programs online, which could potentially work since I will be completing research several states away. Do you guys think this is a good idea?
**I'm an AA male, but I still want to have a decent GPA when applying to med school. And beginning typewriting is a legitimate course the CC offers, I'm not a troll.
