[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also know doctors who had Bs and Cs.[/quote]

Yes so do I but they all went to undergrad 25-35 years ago. I had a good number of Bs and my overall 3.8 GPA was top 15% at my college, I went to an ivy for med school. The median grade in intro courses was often a C+ or a B- then, or 2.3-2.7 BCPM (stem) gpa if you scored average on every intro course. Students who stuck with it and were average science majors had around a 3.3 at graduation, now it is 3.7 or so as a median at graduation, at many schools higher. We have two different neighbors whose kids went to UGA and UTenn and got 3.9s as science majors and still cannot crack 500 on the MCAT after multiple attempts and 1-2 gap years. One struggled to get a 3.3 in a well known post-bacc designed to boost gpa. Undergraduate grade inflation even at non-elites is out of hand the past 10 yrs and it is much worse since covid. Bs and Cs for the BCPM gpa these days is well below average, MD will not happen. OP's kid got an F and a D. [/quote]
