For my first semester of college, I took 9 credits (withdrew from 4 credits) and got a 2.9 GPA. This is from only taking 9 credits. Next semester I will be taking 15 credits and I plan to do well in them now that I have realized my weaknesses. How much do you think my GPA could go up from taking summer classes and taking over 12 credits each semester? Are my chances for medical school ruined? I realize that from now on I have to be less lazy and not crash at the end of the semester! On the bright side, I do have another semester of freshman year left!
