How Much Will First Year Gpa Affect Third Year Application?

[pretzels]

All my marks have been fine so far from A- to A+ for first year, but I got a B+ in one of my half year courses, and I know it's not the end of the world, but it has been bothering me, and I'm a little worried!! As long as I do much better in my second year, I just hope I still have a good chance of applying to med in third year, assuming my other stuff like MCAT and EC's is good? I don't know exactly what my current GPA is but I'm predicting for OMSAS it's going to be about 3.8?? I would appreciate it if I could hear about some of your experiences as third year applicants, like what the GPA expectations are and if you guys ever got less than an A (like a B+) in a course and how much of an effect that has on your application? I know marks aren't everything but still, lol thank you!!

What class did you get a B+? Some schools are more forgiving for certain courses

For a third year application, it makes your chances significantly worse for certain schools and mildly worse for other

3.8 in your first year isn't bad at all tbh, if you learn from your mistakes and improve it definitely won't hold you back.
