There are quite a few threads about this; it has to be the same course.
Cell Bio is not Genetics, so you can't do grade replacement. I'd recommend retaking the course, but if it's your only low grade, it may be overlooked, especially with a degree in the sciences.
Exactly what Cornell08 said. You might want to address why it happened and say that you plan to retake it (if you really are planning on that), but do not list it as having been retaken when it has not. That's just dishonest.this one grade makes my gpa change from like mid 3.6 to low 3.5; considering the possibility that they might overlook it due to my circumstances at the time and since its the only bad grade, should i go ahead and list it as a replacement so my gpa reflects more accurately the average of all my other grades?
ok; is there a way to explain this grade to the adcoms and do u think they would recalculate it and see the gpa without the failed course?
This is why you have essays and interviews. Recalculation of your GPA is their business to do or not to do. Personally, I don't think they will. There's absolutely no need to do it, and besides, they must accurately report their grades. If you're concerned about this, retake the class. Otherwise, stop trying to circumvent it. It sucks what happened and why, but it did happen. If in the future you misdiagnose a patient because of whatever reason, you don't get to take that back.ok; is there a way to explain this grade to the adcoms and do u think they would recalculate it and see the gpa without the failed course?
