Do you have to get straight A's to get into medical school?

Medical schools will also pay close attention to the grades you received in your science courses, so if you're going to put in the work to ensure you get an A, it's best to do it for a science class.

This isn't to say you can just let the rest of your grades slide, though. Medical schools will still want to see that you have high grades overall, as you'll need to be academically proficient to make it through medical school.

You'll also need to meet any science credit requirements to be eligible for medical school. These requirements also typically include minimum final grades for these classes, so make sure you pay attention to these while you're still in college. You don't have to major in a science degree, but you will have to meet these requirements.

So, at the end of the day, work hard in school to get high grades, but don't think you have to give up your dream of being a doctor just because you won't graduate with a 4.0 GPA.
