Hello,
I'm a recent grad (top university; double major in 2 tough areas blah blah), 3.367 cGPA 3.3 sGPA, volunteering, research (co-author on an abstract. Idk if that is that great), leadership (President, VP). I currently work full time in a very large company. 34S (13 PS 11v 10 BS) MCAT.
My questions are:
1. I'm currently taking courses while working to show I can handle med school. I took an upper division Immunology course over summer and received an A. I'm now deciding between taking a 3 unit medical microbiology course and either a 3 unit general human anatomy course or a 2 unit advanced infectious diseases course. Given my schedule (working with a client right now), 2, 3 unit courses may be pushing it. How would Ad Coms view an infectious diseases course vs. an anatomy course?
2. Because I was a ******* in college, I received a C- in a statistics course. In my senior year however, I took an upper division statistics based economics course in which I received a B+ (much harder than my lower division statistics). Should I still take that lower division course again?
Appreciate all the advice and help I get from you guys.
