Hello,

Thanks to advice from others I have decided to attempt to improve my u/sGPA by taking undergraduate courses at a university nearby over the next year or so until I can get it up to the point that I have a chance to get into a decent SMP. In order to do this in a decent time frame and show that I can handle it, I have to take a full course load. Unfortunately, said state school does not allow students who are not seeking a degree to take more than 11 hours at a time.

Would it be advisable to take some credits at a second institution? Is this even normally possible? I've never been dual enrolled before!

I also wanted some advice on what kinds of courses to take. As an undergraduate (and now) I am very strong in Biology, pretty decent in Physics, and not so great at Chemistry. Do I need to take chemistry courses or can I just load up on upper level biology?
