I will be graduating this may from a SUNY. My gpa is not terribly low but I have never achieved straight A's in a semester so far. It is FILLED with B's with only 2 C's. I don't want to apply with the gpa that I have so I have decided to do post-bacc work to prove myself. I will sit for the MCAT this april.

cGPA: 3.45
sGPA: 3.39


possible? minor boost: first-gen college student

Leadership: captain of campus C-cert for 2 years.

clinical-Hospital volunteering for nearly 4+ years with 400 total hours
-shadowing MD for 100 hours.

research -2 semesters worth of research lab experience

Any suggestions for post-bacc programs to enhance my gpa? I am a NYS resident so want to stay around the east coast. I want to hold off on SMP's for now and save it if I really need it. Any help will be appreciated!
 
@DrMidlife I saw them but I am still confused. Most of them seem to cater for students who haven't yet taken some/most of the pre-reqs. I will be finished with my pre-reqs by the time I graduate but need GPA enhancement. Is it wise to just retake some science courses and pre-reqs at my SUNY (grade of B or below?). Or do I just pursue a 2nd bachelors degree at another institution? since my School only offers a limited number of upper division science courses.

help me please someone? I am really frustrated and confused at this point. Deeply regret the decisions I made in college and willing to do anything to prove myself.

Honestly, seriously, please put the time in to read the information in the lists I mentioned, and look for the threads in this forum that will help you. It is a really bad sign for you to expect to have other people read lists for you. I am totally serious. Be the adult in charge.

But I'll give you a hint: look for the thread that has the most views in this forum. You can sort on view count to find it.

Best of luck to you.
