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!

46.75??Well lets see- (2.9(9)+ 4.0(15)+ 4.0(12)(6))/8 will give you your answer.
Yes i understand that. That was only the case for this semester because I withdrew from a 4 credit class.Simple math will tell you that your GPA is salvageable. But I'm concerned that you can't manage a decent GPA with a minimal (9 credit) course load. Work on things and get back to us in a year.
46.75??
Good news: 9 credits is a tiny percentage of your overall gpa
Bad news: you got below a B average taking a half-time load. To get As with 9 credit hours probably takes about 20 hours a week of effort. What were you doing with your other 148 hours each week?
Well I withdrew from a 4 credit class.
