GPA college school requirements vs major requirements vs emphasis requirements?
-
Do grad/law/med schools care if your school requirements ie, the school of business has calculus as a school requirement while a major requirement might be financing, have a lower GPA than your major requirements? Another example would be that for Biology majors, general chem is needed as a natural science school requirement, however, organic chemistry is needed as a major requirement. I'm just wondering if it is actually all that bad if I got a C in general chemistry but a B in organic?

Answer:
One could speculate that it would not affect your admission of law/med school; however it will affect your admission to those two professional schools. First, go to a four-year college and get a BA degree in any field, but with a preferences for the chemistry and biology needed. After that work for about three years to build up academic and medical credentials; From there, apply directly to medical school with improves grades. Another way to find your way to become a doctor, and overcome the deficits in an academic record for a direct application to a med school in the U.S. would be go to Cuba, and enter med school there. However, one would have to study Spanish to negotiate in that country. If you have the will to be a medical doctor, that is an option open to one. Still, a third way is another option open to one, that is to study to become a nurse in a medical school with virtually the same academic requirements. Then, work three years as a nurse and after that apply to a medical school. That would give one an insurance policy to enter a medical school to study for an MD, but still there are no guarantees. Good luck.

They will certainly care if you got a C in one of the premed courses. They won't even like that you got a B in organic. Med schools care about overall GPA, science GPA, and your MCAT scores. that's pretty much it.
