grades

I have already sent in my applications for veterinary school, but I am still taking pre-requisites (Biochemistry, Genetics now and Physiology and Microbiology in the spring). I know I shouldn't fail them or anything, but do I need to get straight A's in these classes or do they matter less now...

A few summers ago I took some prerequisite coursework at a college, but ended up doing very poorly. I have since re-taken those classes and received an A. The only coursework I have taken at this school was those two classes. If I just don't submit my transcript from that school, will I be...

I am a sophomore in undergrad currently and plan to finish undergrad with a biology degree. I have taken two anatomy/physiology classes with labs and made an A in both of them. However, these two classes are not in my 4yr degree plan. Will they still be fully counted in my cGPA and sGPA? or will...

Hi Everyone, I'm a MS3 and quickly learning about the subjectivity when it comes to MS3 grades. I have received grades for 3 clerkships (Neuro, Peds, IM) all of which I received a HP (my school is F/P/HP/H). I'm a little frustrated with the evaluations (which make up the bulk of our grade)...

Hi everyone, I am currently in the first semester in my sophomore year in undergrad. I attend a community college and plan to transfer to a 4yr after sophomore year. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or guidance on what I need to do to maximize my chances of getting into MD school. I plan...

Do dental schools care if you have non-prerequisite courses taken as credit/no credit?? I need a poli sci class to graduate and I would like to take it as C/NC since I am taking 17 units next semester. Also, I just applied to dental school.

Latley I've been so stressed out with my college courses to the point of me feeling like I want to quit. I'm now stuck with taking nothing but sciences and a few electives. I'm trying to get into a dental school, even talked to the director of admissions. I've asked for her advice and she told...

Sorry if this is a repeat post. Couldn't find anything when I searched. I submitted my AACOMAS application and was verified. When I looked at my GPA's I saw they were off. So I looked at my classes and saw they completely removed two of my summer classes (7 credits of A's). I spoke to them on...

Hi everyone! I am rising junior at a top 25 university. I am a URM (AA female) from FL, extremely disadvantaged (financially) and earned a full-ride scholarship at this institution. This is how my undergrad has looked so far: {Academics} Summer 2015: 3.85 (6 credits) in humanities [at my school...

I have a poor mcat of 484 Grades and experience are better : 3.5 post bacc 3.2~3.3 overall. My first year of college I had low gpa that led to academic dismissal, but have since vastly improved my grades +3000 hours of volunteer work Work as a behavioral therapist-+8 years No research :/ D1...

Regarding the question that a lot of secondaries have that says something along the lines of "if there's any additional information that you would like us to know, please write about it here" - I know this is where a lot of people will write about any dips or fluctuations in their GPA. Would...

I just got my first test back from my summer chemistry course and it was a 76. there are two other test and a final but I might get the same grade or potentially worse. I have an A in the lab so far and my GPA is a 3.6 - 3.7 with my community college grades. (graduated with an A.A. in General...

Hello, everyone, and thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I recently finished my senior year at my university with a major in biology and I plan on applying to medical schools in the near future. Due to personal reasons, I was not able to get a successful grade in my biochemistry...

Hey there So I just finished out my freshman year with the following grades: Semester 1 = 3 A's, 1 B, 1 C Semester 2 = 5 A's, 1 B Total = cGPA is 3.6 I'm scared that I will not be able to maintain good grades as I advance to the upper level courses (especially since I'm taking Ochem next...

Hi! My old school only had one chem lab which i got a B in. I got an A- in chem 1 and an A in chem 2. However when transferring the new school factored the lab into my grades so now I have a B+ for chem. I feel that I put in all this work for nothing and I am really stressing out because it is...

I just finished up my sophomore year. My cumulative is now a 3.84 and science is 3.75. I am mostly happy with my grades (4.0ed both gen chems, both basic biologies, and both orgos), but I am going nuts because I got a B in my organismal biology lab. I bombed a lab exam the day I was at the peak...

At my school we have both "grade replacement" (only 2 classes) and the option of "retaking a course" (as many times as you want). I was wondering what is the difference? Will medical schools disregard the grade replacement?

I failed Gen chem my freshman year, and retook the class the next semester before I transferred schools. While I was trying to calculate my overall aadsas gpa, I noticed that my transcript doesn't show how many credits it was; it shows: D+, attempted credits: 0, recieved credits: 0 The thing...

With the application opening up in three days I want to get it out as soon as possible. However with my school, our finals are in the middle/end of May and I won't get my grades until the end of May/beginning of Juneish. Is it possible to still send in my application and then find a way to put...

I am currently about to be a junior in undergrad and I currently have a 3.89 cumulative gpa but after this semester I believe I am going to receive a C+ in organic chemistry 1 which will drop me down to a 3.82/3.83 cumulative gpa. Will having a C+ be very bad on my chances in getting to medical...

If I have mediocre (3.0-3.3) grades for all or most of my pre-reqs, but have an overall good SGPA (3.6-3.7) due to being a science major and thus having that many more BCPM courses to make up for my poor pre-reqs... how does that look to adcoms? The reason I am asking is, couldn't a science...

Evidently, academic counselors weren't so helpful with this question that I have: if our final exams do not conclude until the 2nd week of June (meaning we don't have final grades until about a week later, and thus transcripts cannot be released for the attached semester/quarter until then), how...

Hi! I am a new member to this and I am having a low key existential crisis and I really would like some help! I am sorry for advance but if you have an answer in even one of these questions it would mean a lot! Let me Start off with my current stats (I am a second semester Freshman) at a...

I'm a first year PsyD student trying to get the lay of the land regarding grades. I keep hearing from countless faculty members and alumni that "grades don't matter" in grad school, but I have also heard they are part of the "point system" for APA internship applications. My goal is to obtain...

Hello all, I just bombed a test in O Chem II, and I was just wondering how everything shaped up so far grade- and EC-wise. This has likely been covered in a different thread, if so, just LMK and I will check it out. Just a bit worried about how this bad chem grade will affect my chances. For...

I'm a first year in one of the best Universities in Canada and throughout the course of several months, even before university started, I have been struggling with depression and my purpose in life. Due to my cynical and depressed state, I neglected my studies and managed to fail my first term...

I'm currently pregnant and took anatomy at the wrong time. I diagnosis with gestational diabetes and anemic which really affected my ability to focus. I feel depress because I usually do well in all my biology class. This pregnancy is making my brain feel brain dead in my second pregnancy...

Hello, I graduated back in 2014 from a UC with a B.S. in Biology. Unfortunately my transcript is poor and it will be an uphill climb to be qualified to apply for Nursing programs. Cumulative GPA: 3.16 Science GPA: 2.85 (if you include math it is 2.77) Yeeeesh - underwhelming, I know. I was...

I went to SUNY Oswego for 2 years as a Zoology major, and I have transferred to SUNY Stony Brook in Fall 2016. Since Stony Brook only accepts C and higher, my organic chemistry 2 grade did not get transferred over. So, as a result, I am retaking it and struggling very badly. Here are my chem...

I really don't know who to go to advice about this and to be honest I'm kind of embarresed. I've been crying all day and I've never felt more stupid. I'm taking molecular genetics and the class is pretty much based on just our test grades. On the first exam I got an 80, which I guess I was okay...

How concerning is it to residency programs if clerkship grades are all passes (school is 25H/50HP/25P and haven't gotten my obgyn grade back yet)? My comments are good to average but I always end up missing HP by 1-2 points. Otherwise, slightly above avg step score and no publications with...

Did anyone get accepted into pharmacy school with a low PCAT score? That is the only thing I am worried about I have great grades (~3.5) and ton of pharmacy experience (~2.5 years) my PCAT is 62 However I have an interview for the pharmacy school tomorrow! So maybe I am okay?

So here are the facts: I'm a senior majoring in biochemistry. I always wanted to apply to med school but my hesitation is my GPA. Right now I have a 3.65 overall. The reason that it's so low is because I was originally majoring in biomedical engineering. Fall semester of my sophomore year, I...

I'm a recent graduate from a UC in Human Biology, prior to that I was a transfer student from a CC. I'm planning on applying to PA school in the future. My degree included all the prereqs I needed for PA school so I don't need to take new classes, however I would like to improve my undergrad &...
