Hi so my cgpa and sgpa are around 2.9-3.1ish(im a biomedical engineer); i was wondering if it would be better to just enlist and retake a bunch of the classes I did bad in at a community college and bring my gpa up or do a formal post bacc because I think with the classes I would retake (orgo1, bio, physics 1,2 and possibly some other science courses) i could bring my gpa up to about a 3.3 or 3.4
 
Retaking a class does not replace a grade. You need to count both in your calculations. Also, don't retake classes you got a C or higher in.
 
Don’t retake anything over a C, as mentioned above. Instead take upper level science courses to raise your GPA/sGPA. i.e immunology, virology, molecular biology, histology, genetics, and many others.
