I'm a graduating senior from an undergraduate school, and been rejected from medical schools mostly because of my bad GPA. (3.3)
Yes, my GPA is not good enough to apply for medical schools, but I just cannot give up my dream that I had for many years.
So I'm thinking about staying in the same school for another year and retake some science and general courses (well, not just some, quite a bit).
Do you think it will look bad on my transcript if I retake those classes?
My advisor tells me to take uppder division science courses, but I know that won't boost my GPA even if I get all A's.
So I believe retaking courses is the best way to boost undergrad GPA, but I'm not sure if it will be look bad to medical school committees.
Is it ok to retake many courses to boost my GPA from the same school?
Is it better to just take uppder division science even if it won't boost GPA much?
Or do you recommend post-bacc program? (but I know they are difficult to get in)
Or any better ideas?
If I were to retake anything B+ and below, that means retaking 15 classes!
If I were to retake anything B- and below, that is 10 classes!
I've been so frustrated and stressed out!
Please help!
Your advice will make my life brighter!
Thank you in advance.
