How Fed am I for getting a B- (2.7) in biochemistry as part of my post bac? Took it alongside an upper level physiology course and got an A- (3.7) & working 30 hours a week. No excuses here, just giving the whole picture. I’ve taken about 7 science courses since under grad and have a cum gpa of ~3.5. Originally 3.7 but biochem dropped me

Obviously not good, but one bad grade on post-bacc won't kill your application. I had a W from one course and it was never brought up on interviews

Why did you choose to do a postbacc with a 3.7gpa?
Can't sugar coat this, it doesn't look good.
The good news is that you should get plenty of IIs, and then it's up to you to seal the deal.
3.7 was my post bac gpa before the biochem dropped it to a 3.5! My uGPA was way lower
Got it. Thanks so much!
Always honest, thanks Goro!
If you can afford to, take one more semester of 3-4 science classes and get a 4.0. This should raise your pbGPA to above a 3.5, and you would be ending your post-bac on a sweet note!
That’s the plan! Thank you!
