How can I get into a good medical school given I failed two classes freshman year?

HCPP20:

You failed 2 classes and still have a 3.0 /B average?

generallygone:

I believe my sGPA is 1.32 (makes more sense of course)

If the OP took 8 courses of equal credit value, 6 A grades and 2 F grades would give a 3.0 cGPA.

If 3 of the courses were BCPM courses, with 1 A grade and 2 F grades, that would give a 1.33 sGPA.

If the above is the case, then even taking 13 more BCPM courses (of the same credit value) with all A grades would get your sGPA up to 3.5, which is marginal for medical school admission. So you would need to take even more BCPM courses than that and earn all A grades in order to bring your sGPA up enough.
