I finished my undergrad majoring in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill in Canada. I am moving back to NYC to get a U.S. transcript. I was wondering if I should boost my science GPA by retaking the prerequisite science courses that I have already completed. I took these prereqs four/five years ago and the ADEA AADSAS standardized these grades, which lowered my GPA. I could do much better in these courses because I received low grades and therefore, there is much room for improvement. However, I did well on the DAT, which did cover the prereq material. Only recently did I hear of a postbac premed program, which gives students like me, with a low GPA, the opportunity to boost their grades for a science profession. I was wondering which path is better; to retake these prereq classes as a non-degree student or to apply to a postbac program? Or should I take higher-level science courses, which I have already done since that was the focus of my major?
My concern is to boost my science GPA and I want to guarantee that the next step is going to boost my GPA and not give me more difficulty. Any thoughts?
