Hi guys, long time lurker, first time posting! Don't be too rough yall haha. So I graduated with a degree in Econ last year from a UC. Before I went to UC, i took several science courses at a CC from 2009-2010, and my grades were:
Ochem1/Ochem2: C,D
General Bio 1/ General Bio 2: B,C
General Chemistry 1/Chem2: C,B
Calc 1/Calc 2: A,B
Keep in mind these courses were almost 3-4 years ago.
My non science courses (econ included) are almost all A's.
Now, enrolled at a CC once again, I am retaking these courses, and a few new ones with the following grades (These new grades were done in a span of a year):
Ochem1/Ochem2: A,B
General Chem 1: A
Physics1/Physics2: A,A
Biochemistry: A
Anatomy: A
My new overall gpa becomes about a 3.55 and my Science Gpa about a 3.08. If the schools actually have the policy of Grade Replacement when the course is repeated with a higher grade, my overall jumps to a 3.78, and my science jumps to a 3.6
Sure I know DAT will have a big impact, but what are my chances as far as the science gpa goes when looking at these grades and the improvements? Will the past come back to crush my chances, or will the upward trend be enough to erase those ugly grades from before. I will be applying primarily in California.
THANK YOU ALL, WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE INPUT
