I am switching to a 'pre-med' track after completing my chemical engineering degree.

To bump up my GPA to be more competitve for post-baccs, would it be advisable to take the 'pre-med sciences' and do well in them, (even though i have already taken the engineering sciences)?

Thanks!
 
Its hard to tell what you should do without more information. If you've already taken the pre-reqs and upper level sciences, it seems futile to retake the pre-reqs. However, if you can take a years worth of upper level bio classes, you should start there. Also, once you start taking classes (anywhere), you're already in post-bacc program (one of your own choosing rather than the structured ones). Most schools will let you register as a non-degree student without any requirements, so pick the best school you can afford and get into, and start.
