retake classes

I am thinking for going back to medical school, but I need to take a few pre-reqs. No problem. However, I have most of my pre-reqs are from 9 to 19 years ago. They will be 11 to 21 years old by the time I apply. A few were As but most were Bs or Cs. MAIN QUESTION: Should I bother retaking them...

If you have retaken classes in the past – or expect to need to retake a class in the future – this post will help you understand this element of your profile, in general, for the AMCAS application, and for the AACOMAS application, as needed. 1. All grades earned are calculated into the...

So I took a math class twice at my undergrad college then I took it again at another college during my post-bacc program. On the ADEA AADSAS app it says "Note: courses should be marked repeated only if repeated at the same institution. If you took a course at one institution and later repeated...

Hey! I'm currently a senior and was planning on applying to optometry school next summer. However, I have realized that my science gpa is too low and retaking some bio/chem classes is probably what I should do. I also will not graduate Spring 2020 because of some personal issues I had before and...

I am a First Semester Freshman who is about to start up school again in 2 weeks, and I just got an email from my academic advisory saying that I need to retake Principles of Biology 1 in either this Summer or in the Fall Semester (Have a D+ while the grade to pass is a C-). Being from fresh...

hey guys! So reading posts on here has been super helpful in calming my nerves about applying but I’m just wondering if anyone else has retaken a lot of classes? I kept retaking the same classes over and over again and my transcript isn’t the prettiest. But to somehow balance that I scored...

Hello, Current cGPA: 3.18 White Male 21YO Cell and Molecular Biology senior graduating in May. Graduated in 3.5 semesters and due to hand injuries I couldn't take the MCAT last spring. I went through courses too quickly, worked 40+ hours a week and never could figure out how to pull off As...

Hi. Currently, I am about to finish my senior year at the University of Southern California. I entered undergraduate as pre-med and completed some of the requirements. However, after my first semester of sophomore year I realized that I might not be cut out for it, and that maybe that wasn't...

I'm in a rock and a hard place and I'm just now starting to reevaluate my options. I graduated with a 2.9 GPA after double majoring in psychology and neuroscience and minoring in biology. I thought more was better and rushing out in 3 years instead of 4 would "look" even greater. I was wrong. I...

Hi Everyone! So I'm applying MD and am really only concerned about my grades in Orgo 1 and 2. My school does lab and lecture separately so for Orgo 1 I ended up with a C+ in lecture (3 credit hours) and an A- in lab (1 credit). For Orgo 2, I had a C in lecture (3 credits) and an A in lab (1...

Hello! So my situation is a mess and I was wondering for ANY help and advice, tips, insight! I'll keep it short! Woo! I recently graduated! So, I spent 5 years in college because I switched major to Kinesiology late in Senior year but I was a Bio major before so some classes transfer. My overall...

I am a Canadian student and plan to take a 5th year (switched my degree part way and now a few credits behind). I was wondering if it would be better to take a bunch of courses that I can easily get an A in or re-take courses I did not do well in in first and second year (i.e C courses)?

Hi everyone! I just finished sophomore year, and I ended up with a C- in the 2nd hardest intro biochem course at my university (there are three). I got a B in Physics 2 this semester but an A in my English and Spanish classes. Currently my total GPA is 3.56 and my sGPA is 3.29. I plan to...

So I just finished my first year of college as a pre-med student. I didn't do too well in General Chemistry 2 (got a D) and I wanted to know if my chances were going to be affected at all for medical school. The professor was really bad and about 15 people dropped because they were doing that...

Hi, I will be graduating from my undergrad in May, but I still need Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry as pre-requisites. I have already taken O Chem, but I did not do well in it at all because I did not take it very seriously. Does anyone have an tips on how to stay on track and do well in...

A few weeks ago, I had the misfortune of missing an examination in my first year of Medical School. My alarm malfunctioned that night and somehow reset itself in the middle of the night. I could not prove to the school's administration that I had a malfunction with my alarm, but regardless I...

Hi guys. I'm in the process of retaking my prerequisites courses and when all is said and done my pGPA will be a 3.91. Would it be worth it to retake two classes that I got a B+ and A- in to bring myself up to a 4.0? The reason is because after all is said and done, my cumulative GPA will at...

Hey guys! so freshman year has been extremely rough for me, and I have ended up with 3 cs after 2 quarters, in Chem2a,Chem2b, and Math17a. I'm worried that my dreams of attending med school have been dashed. In an effort to preserve my GPA in preparation for med school, I am swapping majors from...

I'm a recent graduate from a UC in Human Biology, prior to that I was a transfer student from a CC. I'm planning on applying to PA school in the future. My degree included all the prereqs I needed for PA school so I don't need to take new classes, however I would like to improve my undergrad &...

I am a NYC resident interested in applying to D.O schools in the future, however, I need to improve my grades first. I wanted to retake my gen chem and gen bio course which I got a "D" in, but my school said that students are not allowed to retake classes that they already passed. I really want...

Hello. So my situation is as follows: I was, am, in a Post Bac program. It is a 2 years masters program. I applied to DO schools last year, while I was in my second year of the program, but I sent my applications late due to my loan money coming in much later than they said it would and not...

Hi. So I can't believe I didn't think of this until just now- I'm a chemistry major, and I'm planning on retaking 4-5 chemistry courses that I got C's in. I became a chemistry major because being so bad at this subject frustrated me so much that I decided to push myself and earn a degree in it...

I am on my third round of applications, and I am looking into going back to school full time to show that I can excel in a full science course load. I have thousands of diverse experience hours, great recommendations, and a solid GRE. My GPA is the only thing keeping me out of school. I have...

I was wondering if I should retake the three classes in which I recieved Cs in at a local cc college in my community. Also I have a 3.25-3.5 I dont know exactly because I have retaken some classes and transfered schools. I also have cc college credit from my high school where some classes where...

Did crappy in biochem (D) this semester as a senior. I'm graduating this semester and going to grad school in the fall and applying to med school next round. Can I retake biochem via some online course? Any recommendations? I can't afford it at my undergrad school because student loans, rent...

I was thinking of retaking some of my old classes i took almost 4 years ago at a UCSD. I know some schools don't even consider retaken courses but if i can boost pharmCAS GPA and show that i can do better will the see as "plus" on my application?

Okay so, I got a C in two chemistry courses at a 4 year. I'm trying to retake it at a CC but they said I would have to petition them. Did anyone have to go through this process? How long did it take and what were your experiences with it?

I am deciding on whether to retake a few premed courses(5) at a local 2 year CC or at the Hunter's post-bacc program(known for its linkage to many medical schools but I'm entitled to stay there for 2 years). I just graduated from a 4 year University. I was wondering if D.O schools will look down...

Hey guys, so I will be graduating by the end of this summer. I haven't taken the MCAT's yet but started studying. My sGPA is currently a 2.97(possibly could become a 3.1 if i do well in 2 upper-div. science courses) and a cGPA of 3.33. I was wondering if I should retake some of the prereq...

Hi SDN! I need some advice on what to do! Graduated from a top 25 undergrad with a 3.46 cGPA/3.21 sGPA, 33 MCAT. I applied to ~30 MD schools this cycle and its not looking good currently. A little more about my app for reference: - my science GPA is definitely hurt by a few classes: C- in...
