Does it count to your UG GPA?
I'm thinking about doing an informal Post-bacc if my GPA doesn't clear the 3.3 mark.

Is it possible to get Financial Aid for Post-Bacc?

Many post bac programs require less than 3.3 gpa. Look at the post bac faq thread on this forum. It has links to many post bac programs and thier requirements.

In order to qualify for federal aid, i.e. federal student loans, you need to be in a program working towards a degree or certificate. So you if you to get federal financial aid, you should apply to post bac programs that offer certificates upon compeltion. Some programs don't.

any undergraduate upper division science courses will contribute to your undergrad bcpm gpa even if you are taking them as a postbac student. they also contribute to your postbac gpa.
