Do these classes sound like they would count under the repeat policy for DO schools?
Course I- Morphology & physiology of living organisms
Course retake- Emphasis is placed on organisms, biodiversity, plant and animal systems, and ecology

Also I am looking for a little bit of help. I have 4 classes that I have made C+’s in so I was wondering is it ok to retake these 4 classes at a community college (want to save money and under my colleges policy I cannot retake C+’s). I have taken several upper level classes that I have done well but now I need to retake the classes I have gotten C+’s in.

Also any info or help would be appreciated- so what are my chances?

They don't sound the same to me.

Yes, you have a good reason.

Your clinical and nonclinical experience hours look good. I'll assume they are of the usual and customary sort. Don't forget to get in some shadowing as well. You were captain of the football team? That's good leadership. Maybe lose the gun club, depending on its focus. Consider some research, even if only for a summer. Overall competitiveness can't be determined without knowing how the retakes and MCAT turn out, but you're moving in a good direction.
