MDPLZ Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Going to cut to the chase. I am 21 and essentially have only a few university courses done (5?) with all horrible grades, C's or D's. I struggled with some health issues up until this point. I was a 95+ student in HS and have always wanted to be a physician. I am hoping to bounce back, start from square 1 and rock my undergrad this September. Even if I do that, have I got a chance despite my messy transcript of dropped courses and bad grades? Honest advice please. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunAndMoon Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I was a 95+ student too in HS, got C's in my first year of Uni, fast forward to a few years later and I am now in medical school. There's still a way with schools who drop grades, and worst comes to worst there's still a way by doing a second undergrad. Also, if your health issues are documented and can be tied to your low performance, some schools will consider that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDPLZ Posted May 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Thanks very much. For the schools who adjust your GPA, are the 'bad grades' really not a factor taken into consideration at all? Like, Queens for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunAndMoon Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 That's what they say! It's definitely all still doable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopDreams Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Don't give up. What is done is done. Move on. You have a lot more credits to complete within your undergrad and can certainly bounce back. Focus on what you can control : your future grades.

Do you homework: look at all the schools, target those that would give you a good GPA if you get good grades from now on, and then make sure you meet their prereqs. It's far from being too late.
