For those of you that have retaken classes how many is too many? Also for anyone that retook how many classes did you take?Thanks
I retook 6 classes total, most resulted from not taking my education seriously during my freshmen year. Bio I and II (got C's in both first round), Physics I, Genetics (C-), Orgo I (D), and Microbiology (C). Yes. I retook classes I got C's in. A lot of people don't recommend doing so and that you should just take upper science classes instead. Well, I was a science major so I took pretty much all the science classes my school (private) had to offer. Since my GPA wasn't where I wanted it to be I decided to retake those classes I got C's in the first time but know for sure I could get at least a B or an A in the second time around. I replaced all those with A's.LINYKid said:For those of you that have retaken classes how many is too many? Also for anyone that retook how many classes did you take?Thanks

Out of the four interviews I went on no one ever question the number of classes I retook.
If they ask just say how immature you, not saying you are, were when you started but you've learned from your mistakes and has since improved. It's not a big deal. Remember, numbers are the first thing they look at. They don't usually look too much into detail in your transcripts.blaze1306 said:Thats awsome! They didn't even mention your retakes!
