How bad was my first semester?

<p>General Chemistry I w/ lab- A
Calculus II- A
Microeconomics- A
Philosophy- B+
Intro. to Russian and East European Affairs- B</p>

<p>I know I am only through one semester, but I am very worried about that flat B. It really dragged down my GPA to a 3.68 which is not good enough.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>You’ll be okay, it was only your first semester. Chill out, and get straight A’s from now on.</p>

<p>uhhhhhhh really?</p>

<p>Your first semester was so bad it makes Stalin look like a great guy.</p>

<p>That was a joke, by the way.</p>

<p>For med school, coursework GPA is divided into science/math and non-science. Your B average is in the non-science and you received a “A” in the course that will be considered important for med admissions. Keep studying and you’ll do fine.</p>
