Hey everyone!
I was a psychology major my first two years. Then I switched over to biology my third and fourth year. I am back on the psychology track.
A major depression really interfered with my grades, and my head wasn't on straight. During my biology years, I got one C (biology 1), a B- (physics I), a D (physics II), 4 B's (biology 2, ochem 1, ochem 1L, ochem 2L) and a W (ochem 2).
I know that will factor into my cumulative GPA, but I am asking you guys if such grades will hold me back. If that's the case, would I be better off retaking them once I graduate (I can only do that as a post-bacc, except for the D in physics.)?
Would I be wasting time and money by applying to grad schools?
I am planning on applying for a PhD program in the fall. My cumulative GPA right now is 3.65 and my psych GPA is 4 (only JC classes though, I am taking 4 upper division psych classes this semester). I am going to take a practice GRE on the 14th so I'll update you guys on that too.
