Hey I had a quick question on grade conversions for DO schools. When you are planning on retaking a class to boost your GPA do you have to take it at the institution that you took it at the first time around? I took some science classes at a state 4-year university and was wondering if I could retake them at a community college? Would that still count for grade replacement and if so is that even recommended? Thanks
 
You can take retakes anywhere. Just make sure the units are the same or greater. For example, at my undergrad, I took a 3 quarter unit biochem class and retook it at my postbacc school where it was a 4 quarter unit biochem class (it would not have worked the other way around). The titles/descriptions must match closely as well. I believe most schools are okay with CC classes.
