retaking a class.. how much does your GPA go up?

[jungjh9001]

I want to retake my few of my science classes..
Since pharmacy school takes all the classes I took into consideration,
using GPA forgiveness doesn't really mean much when I calculate my math/science GPA or my cumulative GPA.. (for pharmacy school admission..)
I was wondering how much does the GPA usually go up when you retake those classes.. (like from C to A or D to A..)

When it comes to PharmCAS, they are averaged. (4.0 + 2.0) / 2 = 3.0 or (4.0 + 1.0) / 2 = 2.5

Not all schools calculate GPA the same. Research your schools of choice & see what their policies are around retakes. A lot of schools do look at the PharmCAS GPA though (which ValeUC's been kind enough to elaborate on).
