I have an overall 3.86cGPA and 525 MCAT applying in the upcoming cycle with some pretty good EC's (research, club executives, shadowing, non-profit founder, sport coaching and intramurals). However, in my first semester of first year of university, I received a C in gen chem I and a C- in calculus. I was very unprepared coming out of high school and immediately picked myself up and received perfect A+ averages every semester afterwards.
How much with the 2 C's affect me in terms of competitiveness at top schools and other schools as well?

I really can't take post like this serious. Those who make these post have something seriously wrong in the head. Buy the MSAR look at average GPA's for accepted and matriculated students.
side note in case you are not a troll : many schools require two math courses as premedical requirements. Your C- would not count as a passing grade for many medical school. So make sure you have taken two math courses (Calculus, statistics ... whatever).
Lol sorry, I guess I'm just a little too paranoid then. In terms of the two math requirements, if I take two other math courses (two statistics for example) then they wouldn't count the C- in calculus in terms of my requirements correct?
