Hi everyone,
So I'm currently applying to DO/MD and have already gotten quite a few secondaries from some DO schools.
My MCAT is 507 and GPA is not great, about 2.76. Basically, my general science course grades are mostly Cs.
I'm planning on taking non-degree classes at a local university and was wondering if its better to re-take the classes I got Cs in (about 8 classes, so expensive) or to take upper division science classes (biochem, cell bio, anatomy, etc) instead.
I strongly feel like my Cs in the sciences are holding me back but am wondering how much of a GPA boost it would be to take them again vs taking upper level science classes.
Also, if I take these classes in the fall and send an update to my schools, would it be too late for consideration or would it help my application?
