DO schools replace grades that you retake. If you are willing to do a fifth year, you can undo most of the damage.

3togo: grad schools often are much more interested in research potential, and research accomplishments as an undergrad, and care less about grades. So often even at the same university the grad school and med school may have quite different criteria for who to admit.

Med schools, obviously, care a lot about grades. I am not saying they should, but they do.

Hey guys,
I know this was posted a really long time ago, but I'm praying that by some miracle the OP will respond to this. I am, quite frankly, in the same boat as he was. My GPA is slightly higher at a 2.4, but that's no where near good enough. I am currently in the summer between my sophomore and junior year. I just wanted to know what happened? Did you make it to Med School? What did you do? Thanks!

Nope. The OP took a different route.

I did undergrad in a non-engineering degree and graduated last year. I'm a self-taught programmer and I've been working as a Software Engineer at Apple ever since. I graduated with a GPA of 2.25.
