Can you get into med schools with B’s and C’s?

I am not applying to med school but I have a few friends who hope to get into med school. From what I understand, med school is super competitive. Everywhere you read says you are going for at least a 3.5 GPA in your core med school courses. That is equal to a B+. I think you are really hurting your chances with C’s.

If I received a 69 (D) as a final grade for a course, do I still receive the 3 credits?

Yes you still get the credits for the class.

How do people do their hw in the dorm rooms if they can’t print?

There are many computer labs spread across every campus. Every student automatically gets 30$ worth of printing credit every semester on their Rutgers ID. Plus many students bring printers to their dorm rooms.

How do you find the grades of your final exams?

Most of my professors put them on sakai gradebook. If your professor didn’t you could try to email him/her to find out.

do you think i should retake a class i got a D in?

A D really hurts your GPA but I wouldn’t retake the class unless it is for your major. The grades only average together so it’s better to just take a different class worth equal credits and try hard to get an A in it.

Is it lame for girls to use big laptop backpacks?

No it’s perfectly acceptable to have any kind of backpack. College is very different from high school. Nobody is going to come up and make fun of you for anything.

I got placed in elementary algebra… what does this mean for my future?!?

Well honestly it’s all up to you. It is not the end of the world and you could still even graduate as a Math major. I understand that it sucks that you have to take more math classes but don’t be discouraged, there’s still time.

I was placed in 355:100 English 100 Basic Composition but I want to be in expo writing, how do i do that?

Just like the previous question, you need to try to retake your english placement test. Rutgers doesn’t care what classes you took in high school, the placement test is what they go with. If they don’t let you, you are going to have to start with Basic Comp.

I placed into pre-calc after taking my placement test even though I’ve already taken a year of pre-calc as well as a year of calc. I would much rather be in calc my first semester since it would be fresher in my mind and since I did very well in it my senior year in HS. Is there any way to take calc my first semester even though i placed into pre-calc?

You have to convince Rutgers to let you retake the math placement test. You can show them your calc and precalc grades from high school and try to explain your situation. If they don’t let you try the placement test again there isn’t anything you can do except start from pre calc.

If I’m dorming at Newark for the fall semester, and want to switch over to New Brunswick for the spring semester, will I be able to dorm at New Brunswick?

It all depends on how much space there is. Housing is a one year contract so not to many students drop out of housing between the spring and fall. There is a possibility but unfortunately it is small. You can always find housing off campus in New Brunswick which is cheaper anyways.
