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

DAT? Isn't that dental admissions? I think you might be in the wrong forum O_O This is for pre-pharmacy.

Wrong forum, but in general, those grades will follow you forever, you just have to be able to take it in stride and be able to explain to admission officers your growth and how strong you currently are.

Moved to correct forum 👍

To be fair he might actually mean PCAT. Everything else he says could apply to any of the professional health programs.

Thank you DentalDoge, yes I do. So what you think looking at my stats?

 

[DentalDoge]

Really cant say. Those stats would be below average for dental. But the guy is right, your GPA will stay with you forever. How the schools choose to look at them is up to individual schools.

Ask the mods to put this thread back in Pre-Pharm or make another, this time say PCAT instead of DAT haha.
