Hello.

I am a nontrad applicant (was a Bio major in undergrad and did not do well as I had no clear idea of what I even wanted to do and didn’t take it seriously and graduated with a 3.1 CGPA). After a gap year I’ve become set on going to med school and part of that is doing a DIY postbacc by retaking certain courses, taking upper level science courses and missing prereqs at various CC’s near me.

Currently I am taking Calc 2 and Physics 2 while working as an MA.

I have already taken the calc courses (calc 1 and 2 split into 3 classes where I received an A, A, and C) but wanted to retake Calc 2 to show that the C could be improved.

I have also taken a life sciences and general statistics course.


Recently i’ve found that my calc 2 grade is not looking good and I am considering withdrawing and taking a W rather than a B/C
considering I have already taken it and just wanted to see if I could do better. Thoughts?

Any and all advice is appreciated!

Most medical schools require Statistics but not Calculus.
If you are doing well in your statistics course, keep up the good work in that one and drop Calculus 2.
It would be better to have one C on your transcript than 2
