I mean I'm just in a bad spot. I got a 2.924 gpa out of 54 credits. 6 of those credits won't transfer to university. So basically I have 48 credits with around a 3.0. A question I have is will the c+ I had that doesn't transfer to university show up on my transcript when I apply to med schools?

Also I have 80 more credits to get all A's in. Is it possible to get a 3.6? I'm sure i'll do well on the mcat so i'm not worried too much about that. I'm more worried about my poor start at community college.

Heres my transcript

I know it doesn't look good but I mean maybe you guys can give me some guidance. When I first started school I didn't even want to be there and I didn't know why I was there.

Theres gotta be something I can do. HELP!
 
Assuming 48 + 80 credits, if you get all A's from here on out you would have a 3.625 cumulative GPA. However, the grades that do not transfer to your university will be required for application (a separate transcript from your CC must be sent in) and therefore without taking more credits you won't be able to have >3.6 cGPA on your AMCAS application. Your main concern however should be doing as well as possible in your future classes regardless of whether you get straight A's or not. You can get in with a 3.5, maybe less, though obviously your chances increase as it goes up. Keep in mind you've got quite a few W's there on your CC transcript, so be careful not to get more than 1 (maybe 2) after you transfer.

Thanks for this man. I feel relieved now. Looks like I got some hope🙂

Just realize that getting straight A's for the next 80 credits coming from where you are will probably be very difficult. But also realize that you still have the chance to apply with a competitive undergrad GPA, and if you manage to pull off a 4.0 from now on, you'll have an amazing upward trend to boot (more of an upward spike, really.) 👍
