Hello sdn members,

First off, thank you for answering my question (or looking at it)

I recently failed my 2 credit microbiology lab at a state university. I was wondering if it was okay If I took a 4 credit combined lab+lecture microbiology course to replace the 2 credit microbio lab. If so, I might apply the DO route for the next year app cycle

It would be harder for me to attend that same 2 credit lab class at the same university b/c I have work circumstances. I have searched previous postings to this forum in which a poster was able to replace a 4 credit physics course with a 5 credit physics course, but I don't know if my circumstances count.

And thanks for your help this year.
