Hi. I’m new to this website, and the medicine field all together. I am currently a freshman with enough credits to become a sophmore. My question is that: Are general courses required by the college, but not within your major, very important into getting into Med school. I currently have a C in a 200 level pre-modern history course. I was wondering if I should withdraw from this course so my overall GPA does not lower. Currently it is at 3.84. But also while I was in high school I withdrew from my philosophy class. So this would be my second withdrawal. I was wondering if anyone has any insight into this, because I imagine like most pre-med students, this kind of stuff stresses them out. Thanks for all your responses. Also, if you guys need any other background academic information to help solve this problem please let me know.

Thanks,
Junaid
