It really depends on what a "good grad school" is to you? Depends upon the school, the field, etc. Some grad schools (like medical field) are going to require graded b& m credits for their pre req courses. Again you'd really just have to look at individual requirements at the schools AND programs you have in mind.

If you don't mind: what kind of degree are you looking into?

Thanks so much! I'm honestly not quite sure yet (I'm in high school right now). I just want to keep my options open. I'm considering a masters in computer science or statistics. I'm also definitely interested in medicine (come from a family of 'em lol) but I'm not so sure that I'd love it so much I'd be willing to sacrifice all of my twenties. But I for sure want to keep that option open. Thanks again for your help!
