okay so my pharmcas GPA is 3.08...my science GPA is 3.47. i'm applying for the first time but i'm factoring in the (high?) possibility that i won't get in this year

i have no C's in my science classes. i will retake gchem 1 and 2 though (got B's both semesters). and possibly another class

my math GPA is low so i will retake a couple of math classes

but my real question is...if my non-science (3.13) is bringing me down...am i forced to retake some of the non-sciences like english or psych or geography or whatever?
 
Considering that I got into three schools with a science GPA of around 3.1-3.2, surely the reverse situation of having a higher science GPA than a non-science GPA would look more favorable than my situation was.😉


If your science GPA is 3.47, non-science GPA is 3.13, and PharmCAS overall is 3.08, then it really appears that you have an issue with math classes. So, I would redirect your retakes to math courses as it seems like you have low enough grades there that bring your GPA down to below that of your non-math classes.
