I graduated college with a 2.9 gpa and a 2.8 science gpa. My MCAT score is a 506. I am currently retaking undergraduate classes (Biochemistry, Physics) and also taking behavioral neuroscience at different school than the one I graduated from to boost my gpa. I am also going to apply to Post-bac programs at Drexel, Touro, BU, and Mt Sinai for next year.

I wanted to know if this seems like a good path going forward. I have volunteered at hospitals for my EC and am also taking an EMT class. I want to try to get into a DO program since MD schools don't take retaken classes as well. Feeling a bit worried if I'm doing all this correctly. Any feedback would be appreciated and I can provide more info if needed.
