I am not sure if this subject has been mentioned, but it's about good ol' GPA.
I am a postbac who just completed Chem 1&2 and only got C+ for both.
Needless to mention that I am a bit panicky.
Anyway I was just curious if those grades are ok and if anyone knows remedy to boost up the GPA like taking online science courses is good idea.
😳

Online courses tend to be much easier. My advice is to try and maintain an overall science gpa higher than 3.0. And possibly think of retaking chemistry if he feel you can do much better the second time around.

My current school doesn't let me take the course over if the grade is higher than C. So I guess online course is a good idea. Right?

Doing well on the DAT is no guranteee. Therefore you should retake the classes at a CC or wherever you can. Online courses our easier but the ad coms will see you retook it online and they can do the math. The problem with just planning to nail the DAT is what if you don't? Chances are you will take the DAT just prior to applying which means you won't have time to take the classes over if you don't nail it. C+ is not the end of the world however if they are common on you transcript they can cause concern.
