I was reading some SDN threads and have some questions.... Before I probably should explain my situation.
I am a non-trad, graduated 10 years ago not from the US institution (So, I am an ESL-er)
Now, am re-taking all the pre-requisites in the US, and my GPA is 3.4 I know, I need it higher...I don't think I will improve my GPA while I am taking Orgo,Physics, A and P, So, I was reading these posts:
"When I went for pre-app counseling, one admissions office suggested that I consider taking a year of post-bac classes at the UG level in order to establish an UG GPA and prove that I could still handle the work. "
"Many non-trads do not have the coursework from UG and those that do, many of the courses were completed > 5 years ago. Time to repeat it (or take it for the first time) and do a post-bac. A post-bac lets you show the ADCOM that you can excel at the coursework."
What is the post bac? Let's say, I finish my prerequisites and my GPA still will be around 3.4 Should I take easy classes to improve it? And it would be considered as a post bac?
