Just found out that science GPA included mathematics and statistics.. even though my undergrad major is Economics, I had to take those courses but I did bad on some of those.
I did well on calc I, II but got a D on Calc III (apparently I hated the class and was experiencing some difficulties at that time...) also took 2 advanced math courses got B and C+..
As for Stats, I received a D+ on upper level economic statistics course, I did well on other stats. courses, just that particular course was extremely difficult...

I want to know if I should retake Calc III and upper level economic statistics or not?
Or should I just take some other-science courses? If taking some other-science courses, does it matter where I take it?

Non-traditional student and currently taking Bio and Chem at community college, will take Bio 2,Organic Chem, Physics in 4-year university.
 
Even if those economics math classes weren't part of your BCPM they'll stick out like a sore thumb. You have two options:

1) If you have the time and money, retake those courses.
2) If you don't have time or money, kickass in your 4 year university classes (4.0) and DAT (22+), and explain why you had those D's in your PS/Interview. That upward trend line is very important in your case. It's up to you how steeply it goes up.
 
Agree with above, partially. Since those classes are not prereqs, I would not retake but take other advance bio classes to make up bad grades.
