Hi guys! I recently applied to dental school this cycle, and am still waiting on hearing back from my state school. As a plan B, I have already been accepted to a Post-bacc program with a lot of flexibility in course selections. For background information, I've already taken biochem 2(A), Micro (A), physiology (B), biochem 1(B), analytical chem (A), pchem (A), immuno (B) as a few of my upper levels. However, I made C's in both ochems and general bios (embarrassing, I know). I took my DAT, and am planning to retake, and I scored a 19 in total science with a 21 in gen chem, 19 in ochem, and 19 in general bio. I know the general rule of thumb is to avoid retaking courses and focus more on upper levels, but in my case with my more flexible post-bacc program (in addition to more upper levels) do you recommend I retake at least the two ochem courses? My GPA is a 3.4 overall and 3.15 sciences with a strong upward trend the past 2 years of ~3.7. Thank you guys so much!!
