i am currently studying for June MCAT. My current GPA is 3.15
One more retake of a C in either third quarter physics or first quarter/semester biochemistry would push my to a 3.2
However, the only physics course available to me is at a CC (a reputable one) or biochemistry online through Oregon state university. I have to decide in the next two days which one to take.
Since neither is the ideal open university course at a 4 year, which retake would less bad to adcoms?
Thanks!
 
4 year University/Postbac > Community college > Online Classes
 
What about UNE online vs community college?

If it's only one class, I would retake it wherever is best for me. (And not worry about the schools that don't accept online classes.)

My preference would be to take it at a CC over an online class, because I have not had very good experiences with online courses. But like I said, if it's only one class, I'd take it where it seems to work for me the best.
 
@Shotapp I've completed pathophysiology through UNE with an A. But I've heard poor things about their biochemistry.
The CC physics course will be more time consuming due to the lab, while biochemistry will be killing two birds with one stone with my MCAT prep that I'll be doing at the same time.

I've taken one other repeat online but that was because no other school besides my home institution offered the course with the same name (Mechanisms of Heredity, different from Genetics). That was through NOVA Southeastern and this Biochemistry will likely be through Oregon State University.
All of the other retakes have been at a 4 year as Open University, but I wasn't able to get a seat in Biochemistry =(
