I am entering my last semester of college right now. I have finished all of my prerequisites and am mostly just taking classes to boost my GPA before i apply this upcoming cycle. I got a C in biochemistry last spring, and was wondering if I should retake the class and aim for an A. I have redone my study strategy since then and got a 3.9 in my most recent semester so I am confident I can do well this time around (my transcript is an upward trend over the course of college). Would retaking a higher level prereq like biochem look good to admissions? Or should I just take another easier bcpm class with it being my last semester and get a guaranteed A? Thanks!

I would only recommend retaking this class for a C-minus, D, or F.
Instead take another class that interests you or fits your major.

Do not retake.

Take the easier A. You can prove your biochem knowledge by knocking it out of the park on the MCAT.
