Poor grade during last semester of undergrad before med school

[joshua_msu]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could maybe give me help with this one. I may end up with a 1.5 or 2.0 in one of my classes this semester. It is an upper level science but is not a prereq for med school. I didnt really have a hard time in the course, however, I missed an exam. I will be sending out my transcript to my med school as soon as I graduate (1 week). The rest of my courses I should have 3.5's and 4.0's. Will this look bad? Will they put me on academic probation when I start in the fall? Anyone have experience with this before?

if you are already accepted, you're golden. just pass your classes, graduate, relax over the summer, and get ready for medschool. there's no "pre-probation" at any school that i'm aware of.

congrats and good luck

If they don't require it and your school doesn't require it then you're golden man. As long as you're in you can have a few transgressions as far as grades go.

You should have seen my final undergrad semester grades. And I earned those bombs before getting accepted anywhere (still on waitlists at the time). Thank God I got in when I did or the only interviews I'd be doing is for a job at the local 7-11.

So like those fine peeps above me said, you'll be okay. Just don't murder anyone or get involved with any international drug rings before school starts and you should be okay.
