Hello all,
Quick neurotic concern here. I went to CC for 2 years and during that time had a 4.0 GPA. I took all of my science prereqs at that time besides Biochem. I tranferred to university and got 3.3 my first semester there (let the college scene get the better of me and had way too much fun). However, I graduated from university with a Junior-Senior GPA of 3.71. The only "Upper level science" I took there was a 3 credit Biochemistry class which I got an A in; otherwise, most of my classes fell under a "Health Sciences" designation as my major was Medical Laboratory Science. Is the .7 drop in GPA during that first semester significant even though I ended with a 3.71 Junior-Senior GPA? If so, should I take an upper level science such as Molecular or Cellular Biology to show I can succeed in an upper science class? Or just really focus on my MCAT?
