Need to raise GPA, should I minor in something like health/nutrition/etca?

[nuwinator]

I probably need to take more classes to repair my gpa because I didnt do so hot with my prereqs (alot of B's and C+'s). At the time I took those classes I wasn't a motivated student with a goal in mind, but that has changed since I've started volunteering at a hospital pharmacy as a pharmacy tech and watched several live surgeries while at the hospital.

I was wondering if I should also minor in something like health or nutrition even though it doesnt count towards my science gpa nor does it affect my prerequisites gpa? I plan on finishing my degree with two minors.

in an easier class it may take a little bit less work but if you go into a class thinking that it will be a peice of cake and without a care for what what you are learning, then that is a recipe for failure

remember your overall gpa will still be effected

and chances are that the admission commitee is not stupid either

I think that it is better to do well in higher level classes and work towards a degree or a minor in something that actually matters to you. As an example, if you performed poorly in gen chem but kill gen chem 2, that is a strong sign of improvement.

LOL do you really want make life-altering decisions based on advice from random strangers that may or may not be pharmacy/health profession students????

I think you should talk to your advisers, contact your favorite pharmacy schools on their requirements, and talk it over with your family. That's my advice...which is kinda ironic....

Showing an upward trend in grades is better than wasting your time and money on useless classes.
