Im working on taking my pre-reqs for DO medical school replacements.

Im going into my final year about to earn my degree in Business Administration degree. My father is a professor at the university I attend so I am able to take classes for free. I have a few low grades from when I started college that are affecting my GPA, 1 of the classes is a basic math class (1.0). I have done much better in higher levels of Math just that semester my sister had a stroke and I missed a lot of class. Is it worth retaking that class if it brings my GPA up even though it is a basic class?

depends on how much it brings your GPA and what your gpa is. If your gpa is a 3.5 and it will raise it to 3.52, no. If your gpa is 2.99 and it will raise it to a 3.3, absolutely!

Ok, Thank you.

I have one more questions regarding grade replacement,

Is there a difference in how the grade that is being replaced is calculated before and after I graduate? I was planning on getting my degree next year and then finish up my pre-reqs the next semester while taking a few classes to replace my low grades. I am able to postpone graduation if its beneficial because I don't pay for tuition, only fees.

thanks again

no difference. postpone your graduation if your tuition is free. that rocks!

is there any benefit to postponing? I can't think of any

You sometimes get first priority for courses if you don't graduate.

agree with this. even if you attend the same college, if you enroll as a guest/non degree seeking student (whatever your university calls it), you are generally given the last spots left and only if there are some. if you postpone, you usually register as a junior or senior giving you top of the list preference.
