School: Double major in Psychology and Health Science with emphasis in Pharmacology --------------- I should note that my GPA situation is weird because frechman year I nearly flunked out because I filled out a drop slip wrong and the school gave me F's for two classes. I 'retook' the classes but AMSCAS and aacomas process the repeats differently so I'm not sure what they will figure my GPA as. The school has it listed as a 3.6 I also wasn't a serious student(I hadn't decided to go to medical school yet) and when I took my intro biology classes I only showed up on test day and eneded up with c's which hurt my science GPA.
My later GPA after deciding I wanted to go to medical school is around a 3.9.
