I am currently taking all my pre-med requirements (Both general chemistries, both general biologies, and both organics) , by May of 2008 I'll be done with all of them.

However, I am planning to actually spend 1 more year (FALL2008 - Spring2009) taking alot more post-bacc classes in the following year....(Yeh I am doing this becuase Im suffering from a low Undergrad GPA ~ 3.01)

After doing some GPA calculations, I estimated that If I was to earn a 3.8 in every class I take now, My overall GPA will bairly move up, its bairly going to touch 3.25 (however, my science GPA, thank god, will be touching 3.6ish)

What should I do then, should I spend 1 more year take another full load of post-bacc classes (then my GPA should be in the 3.35 range ~ which is still low compared to my much higher science GPA)
Or should I actually apply for some SMP program....

Im kind of scared of doing too many years with post-bacc classes, wouldn't med schools look down upon you if you do that??
