Remember how your parents harped on you all through high school about doing well in your classes.
College allows too much freedom to worry about something like grades.
Face it, if you are planning on going to medical school, you better listen to you parents. At ACU, your reported GPA only includes classes taken at ACU, but when you fill out your application, you will need to compute the overall GPA of every class that you have taken including junior college classes and classes taken for college credit in high school. This includes that freshman level English class that you just have to take and that sophomore level chemistry class you would rather sleep through. You do not have to be an academic recluse and study all of the time, but you do need to pay attention to your academics. On the average, one cannot enter medical school with a GPA lower than a 3.60.
