i was able to raise my science gpa to 3.01 with post bacc classes from a 2.7 (my science gpa when i graduated) with some MULTIPLE classes of the same classes from community college, but I was able to raise my science gpa over the 3.0 mark. i have a couple of questions.
1.is this a red flag? i know im expected to have a 4.0 (had family deaths although i dont think this will be a good excuse)
2.is this enough improvement to get me into schools? i have taken about 40 credits the past couple years on retakes, with some B's mixed in. i feel like any more retakes will only raise my gpa minimally, so im not sure if its worth it

i'm set to take my MCAT this summer and rock it then apply, but am i wasting my time?

With a good MCAT score I think you will be ok so apply broadly

Post bacc is usually the time you wanna go balls to the wall with the As. ATLEAST a 3.7/3.8 in postbacc can outweigh your cruddy performance from before. Gotta just take it on the chin and apply if everything else looks good.
