Hi everyone,

I have just completed the fall semester of sophomore year at my undergrad university. Initially during my freshman year I had obtained a GPA of about 3.9 cumulative. This semester I have no idea what happened to me as I faltered. I do not think I did anyone near as well besides Organic Chemistry in which I recieved an A. On the other hand I feel like I received B-'s/C's in both physics along with my human physiology class. This along with other classes drops my cumulative heavily and I'm scared that rebuilding my GPA will be a huge issue. So my questions is that when you apply to medical school your senior year, the cumulative gpa that is looked at is the past 3 years? From freshman to junior year? Or does it include the first semester of your senior year as well.

Also, should I take easy science classes to help raise my GPA or will it be obvious that I'm doing that to fluff my application?

It will. Do you think medical school will be easier than your current UG school? If you want to be a doctor, you have to earn it.

What do you mean by easy science classes? Most science classes are not really easy. Or are you referring to those useless classes for non-science majors (i.e. "rocks for jocks," "the science of liquor," "earthquake physics" kinds of useless fluff my UG had for people who couldn't do their times tables let alone write a coherent sentence)

No I meant classes at the 100 level; however, it seems Goro answered that question for me. I guess I just have to keep my chin up and work harder. Thanks everyone.
