Hi,
I'm taking time off before applying to medical school in order to strengthen my sciences. I decided that taking upper level biology courses was best for me since I was a history major and had limited exposure to the sciences, besides the premedical requirements. Right now, I don't know whether I should be pursuing a MA in Medical/Health Sciences, or do a post-bac and work on building a stronger science foundation (and help my science GPA). I do feel that I am ready to do graduate coursework, but also feel that I will benefit from post-bac classes. Is it more important for me to apply to medical school with a strong undergrad GPA or to go in with another degree? Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
