Some background and current status: I am several years finished my undergrad (became sick with Lyme disease for a while). I just took the MCAT and am awaiting my score. Scored 510 in practice tests but praying for a 515. cGPA 3.0 with an overall very upward trend (GPA is dragged down immensely from a previous business program). I am setting up a 1 year (three semester) DIY post bacc and I have a few questions.

At what grade roughly should I consider retaking a prereq vs. choosing an upper year course? I'm from Canada and my school uses percentages, but I have several prereqs that I scored fairly low in. First and second year general chemistry are 68 and 69% percent, first semester physics is 71% (second semester is 80%), I have a micro biology at 67% and statistics is 68%. Should I retake those or choose upper year versions? I do require some humanities so I'm planning on taking those as well.

Thanks for your help
