If I applied this June and want to take a class or two this summer to boost my gpa and "update" my Academic section of AADSAS, which classes should I take? I have taken all the pre-reqs for schools. Should I re-take an undergrad science class I did poorly on, should I take an under-grad science class that I've never taken before, or should I take a graduate level science class?
Will taking a class or two help my application even a little bit?? Im really worried about my gpa negatively affecting my application 🙁

Here is a link to a gpa calculator. It will let you know how many credits you will need to take to shift your gpa based off of course credit hours and grade received in class. My advice to you is to err on the side of caution. If you feel confident in retaking a class, you must ideally get an A in it. In the case of taking brand new, upper-level courses, a good place to look for professors is rate my professor.com because lets be honest if 2 profs teach the same class and one is crazy difficult then don't waste your gpa or time in their particular class.

Once you've submitted your application, you can't update the academic portion until much later (I think it is in November or December).
