Coming from a strong pre-med-mode uGPA of 3.94, I entered a PhD program. Through this program I optionally took courses at another institution. My first year, I took Non-equilibrium Statistical Physics there, got a B-...I didn't care at the time, this year I was more worried about research rotations and let some work slide, and my home school was pass/fail anyway -- and reports the grade as such on its own transcript. Unfortunately, I only took four other courses at this other institution (all A's), and my home institution courses don't count, so I can expect an unimpressive gGPA of 3.675 posted prominently on my application. My overall GPA should drop to no less than 3.93.
My question: can I expect this to significantly damage how my application is received at upper (or even middle) tier schools?

It won't hurt you. The majority of med schools don't regard grad school grades in their assessment of applicants.
