I decided to do a DIY post-bacc to finish two prerequisites and take high-level biology courses. The school basically said I'd be eligible to earn an associate degree if I sent in an official transcript from my undergrad. This would mean that I would also be eligible for financial aid. The problem I'm having with this is that my undergrad GPA was not the best. By getting credit for those classes, I'm afraid my post-bacc GPA will suffer before I even get a chance.
I definitely need help financially, so I would want to be a degree seeking student. Getting an associate degree also doesn't seem like a bad deal. Would medical schools/SMPs look at my overall GPA or would they only calculate the GPA from the new school? Should I be worried about transferring credits?
I'm not really sure how to go about this, so I feel stuck. I would really appreciate any help!
