If you already have a bachelor's degree, is it worth it to do a postbacc to strengthen your undergrad record? I have a degree in a science field but wasn't sure if it was worth it to a postbacc or just apply. I have an overall gpa below 3.0 and above 2.5 which is why I was asking.
 
I got my masters because I was in the same boat. I think it definitely helped. my GPA was a 2.8 undergrad but my master's gpa was a 3.9. I was worried because undergrad was so low but everyone kept telling me it will be the trend in grades that helped and it did. 🙂 I got my master's degree in 9 months so it was a perfect gap year program and now I'll start pharm school in August. 🙂
