Ezj391 03-19-2006, 02:53 PM oh, I'm undergrad...planning to apply for 2007 cycle.. my advise is don't repeat the classes. you can get in with the few C's. OOK 03-19-2006, 07:35 PM Are u undergrad or in pod school? don't repeat! just take other science classes and try to get a's. MurrayButler 03-19-2006, 08:07 PM don't repeat! just take other science classes and try to get a's. I disagree. I repeated a class that I made a C in and felt it was to my advantage and shows good work ethic and character. OOK 03-20-2006, 05:14 PM I disagree.

Save yourself the time. If you are only applying to POD school, I wouldn't retake those classes. What is your total GPA right now? As long as you have a GPA 3.0+ you should not have many problems getting into a POD school. Also, what standardized test have you taken? (MCAT, GRE) MurrayButler 03-20-2006, 07:10 PM med schools will look at the first grade. they know that you should have A in any class you retake. but, if you take a harder class and have A, they will assume that you are a hard worker. I couldn't disagree more for the simple fact that my grade change was mentioned to me in an interview. The interviewer asked me what I did differently the 2nd time and why I decided to take it again. After my explanation, he simply stated, "I like that. We look for that type of work ethic in our students." Ali-karimi 03-20-2006, 09:02 PM Save yourself the time.

How many more credits do you need to take before you graduate or are you planning on obtaining the B.S. through POD school? Well, you could retake a couple classes this summer just to bring your GPA up a little bit. Like MurrayBulter has mentioned in the previous posts, POD admissions would favor your motivation to retake a class or two just to help yourself get in. I believe that Sept. 06, is the date that you can start applying for the year 2007. |
