u/543845

Rising senior at HYPSM, BME major. cGPA around 3.5, MCAT 513. Strong clinical/service profile through a student-run free clinic: leadership/ops, patient navigation, interpreting, and lots of longitudinal patient-facing work.

Problem: I just got a C- in physics. I know some schools require C or higher for prereqs, so I’m looking at taking another upper-level physics course senior year.

Main questions:

1. Is this still a viable MD cycle with a realistic school list?
2. If I take another physics course and do well, does that usually repair the prereq issue?
3. Are there schools that would still require retaking the exact course?
4. Should I mention the C- anywhere, or only if asked?

Trying to figure out if this is “serious but fixable” or “delay applying.”
