Hi, I'm in my last year of high school right now and will be graduating this year. I know I'm defiantly going to go to a 4-year university and try to get into med school. I'm just wondering though, when you're in high school, is it a requirement to have good grades? My GPA is going to be around 3.5 or higher but I had a D my freshman year. I heard you can't have any F's or D's is that true? I have no F's just D but my GPA still will stay high. Please let me know, thanks!
From what I recall, medical schools don't care about your high school grades. They care about your college grades and your MCAT scores.
Your high school grades are important to get into a good college. A good college will help prepare you for medical school, or another field if medicine doesn't work out to be for you.
