My plan has been to retake failed courses and implement Texas Fresh Start to remove the first failed attempt. All of my failed attempts are from > 10 years ago. Is this plan still viable given the new DO grade replacement rules?

Thanks in advance.

It says on their site that they clear the GPA if it's from over ten years ago, so I think you should be good in that regard. I don't believe the AACOMAS change would impact this program at all.

Besides, you'd have to retake any pre req less than a C cause most of the schools require C minimum in all pre req course work.

Good luck man.

Thanks for the info.

With out retakes, I have a 4.0 sGPA/prereqs.

It's my ancient cGPA that I was hoping to repair.

Hopefully I can still turn this into an acceptance.
