Hey all, I'm going to be starting an informal post bacc at a college near home soon and I wanted to get some input on which classes to take. I'll be doing the post bacc for GPA enhancement and its much cheaper to do it this way at a state university it seems. I took all of my pre-reqs so I plan to take mostly upper level science courses. Here is my question though, I got a C in organic chem and that was 3 years ago now, I think it would be good to retake it in prep for MCAT alone but is it beneficial to re-take courses or should I stick to only upper level new classes? Also I was a neuro major during undergrad so some of the psych classes were part of my program which I enjoyed. Is it okay to take upper level psych classes or stay with bio, chem, physics?

Thanks for any help its greatly appreciated!

I'd steer clear of organic chemistry and the psych courses. A C is not worth retaking and o-chem is not heavily represented on the MCAT (and the questions from it are quite easy compared to other disciplines tested). Psych courses are less than impressive compared to the hard sciences, I'm afraid, so you'll get more for your money by sticking to the latter.
