Hello,
I'm currently a Junior with a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Originally, when I entered undergrad, I thought medical school was for me. However, after barely making it through General and Organic Chemistry, I've decided medical school isn't for me. I have always been a psychology major on the pre-med track, but I have now decided to drop pre-med (psychiatry) in hopes of going into clinical or counseling psychology. My question is, do you believe my GPA will be a substantial hindrance to my graduate school application? I have solid letters of recommendation and so far great research experience, but I worry that against an applicant with similar letters and experience, I will fall flat because of my gpa.
I have a major GPA of 4.0 - I have received "A's" in all my psychology major courses and in all my core classes. My cumulative GPA is only so low due some "C's" in chemistry. I know there's not much I can do about those C's now, but I was curious if those C's would be overlooked, or if my pre-med coursework will continue to haunt me? I wish I could just make those C's dissapear, because they are no longer relevant to my degree, but I, of course, cannot.
Any insight or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!
