I'm currently a junior bio student. I've done terribly in my science classes so far, and I know that. I'm trying to keep moving forward. I want to do a postbacc program after graduation, but I'm afraid my gpa is too low.
My overall gpa so far: 3.03
My science gpa so far: 2.4-2.5
Genchem1: A
Genchem2: C+
Bio1: C+
Bio2: B-
Calc1: D, retook and got a C
Calc2: C
Orgo1: C
Orgo2: B
Anatomy: D, going to retake
Evolution: B-
Ecology: C
Genetics: C
I still have to take physics. And 4 more science classes before graduating. I have 0 shadowing/research experience, and I also don't have any recommendation letters. I'm going to shadow this summer and am going to get my professors next semester to write for me.
My questions:
1) Can I retake any of my prereqs (genchem2, bio1/2, calc1/2) now to boost my science gpa after already taking some upper levels? Won't I be doing that anyway if I can't get into a formal postbacc and I have to do DIY postbacc/take classes by myself after graduation?
2) Do I have a chance at getting into a postbacc or masters program?
3) When should I take the DAT? Before or after a postbacc?
Thank you so much.
