Hi everyone!
I just finished sophomore year, and I ended up with a C- in the 2nd hardest intro biochem course at my university (there are three). I got a B in Physics 2 this semester but an A in my English and Spanish classes. Currently my total GPA is 3.56 and my sGPA is 3.29.
I plan to retake the same biochem course in the fall (and I'm fairly confident I will be able to get an A this time), and my university will average the grades together when calculating my GPA.
Since I don't have anything else lower than a B in any other class, I was wondering if I still have a good shot at MD school in the US? I do almost every pre-med extracurricular activity expected, but should I wait to apply until after my senior year (when my GPA will be higher)? I still have a lot of science classes left to raise both GPAs, and I have reason to believe I will do fairly well on the MCAT.
Please let me know your thoughts/advice for my situation. Thanks!
