Answers:
First of all, you need good grades in your first 4 years of college (pre-med). Also, MCATS are extremely important. The GPA of a 3.7 with an MCAT score of 30 or above should get you into a decent medical school. If you are looking at Harvard or Hopkins...try top notch GPA with a 38 or above MCAT score.
Depends what medical school your trying to get into I'd aim for a 3.5 or higher..
If you are in the US, Medical Degrees are graduate degrees. They will look at your University GPA, but not at your High School GPA.
That doesn't mean that the HS GPA is unimportant. Your chances of getting into medical school improve if you go to a good college. And having a high GPA will help get you into a good college.
You need a bachlors first.
you need to go to college before you go to medical school. unless you go to medical school somewhere like ,Guam, Philippines or India
college GPA is what counts, not high school. I would say 3.75 in college at a minimum, plus you have to get super high scores on entrance exams and go thru interviews, etc
It all depends on the school you wish to go to. If you are planning ivy league 3.8 at the lowest is what I recommend. If it's just a state school 3.5, but don't just concentrate on your GPA get some extra curriculars in as well. I had a professor tell me that they were excepted into a graduate program with a 3.8 GPA instead of a 4.0 because people with 4.0 will do anything to get an A, and they weren't as trustworthy.
You need a high enough GPA in HS to get into a good college where you'll need to graduate w/a Bachelors degree w/honors & @ least a 3.8 + GPA to apply to med school. It takes 8 years of college for a medical degree... so work hard the first 4 so you can apply & be accepted w/out worry.
