Hello! I graduated in May and I am a reapplicant considering taking community college classes to improve my GPA and wanted to get other opinions on it. My cGPA is 3.63, sGPA 3.64, MCAT 514. I know my GPA isn't that low but I have a somewhat negative trend due to overloading myself with work and extracurriculars my senior year (Fall: 3.23 Spring: 3.60), but I would really like to improve my GPA as I feel like it is a possible red flag on my application. I am working full time and I can't afford to do a post-bacc program because of time and cost. These classes would not be prerequisites and I have already taken extensive amounts of upper level science classes at my 4 year university. Thanks in advance!

In your situation, taking CC classes that fit a work schedule for a do-it-yourself postbac to establish an upward grade trend is fine and won't be a red flag.
