Hello fellow pre-dents,
I just graduated last month and currently am studying for DAT which I'll be taking next month. I'm not going to apply until next cycle because my stats are not great atm and I don't have many shadowing hours and ECs.
Grades:
1 year CC+ 2 years uni
My overall GPA = 3.43 (senior year 3.95: I took 38 units with 25 BCP units, 1 B+, 3 A+, rest are As)
My science GPA = 3.27
My BCP GPA = 3.16
To boost my GPA a bit higher, I want to take A&P and Microbiology before applying next cycle. I have two options currently. At my nearby CC, I still have priority registration through honor's program and the professor is great, plus the cost is low (~$200). Another option would be taking the course at a nearby private university. The cost is a lot higher (~$4400) and I'm not familiar with the registration process.
Since I just graduated from a 4-year uni, would the admission dislike my choice of attending a CC instead of the private uni? I'm not going to apply to Boston, Tufts, etc. that don't take CC credits since I already completed some prereqs at CC during my first year of college.
Tl;dr: Should I take A&P and microbiology at CC (lower cost) or private uni (higher cost) for informal post-bacc?
Thank you for your inputs!
