Hi everyone,

I'm trying to raise my sGPA (3.0) by taking microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. My application is in solid shape to apply DO otherwise: cGPA 3.6, 505 MCAT, good ECs, but I'm worried about the discrepancy in sGPA vs cGPA. I have read about several online options on various postings here, but it seems like no one likes UNE or Berkley extension. I also have the option of CC night classes but wasn't sure which would look better. Other undergrad classes in my area really aren't an option because I need to work full-time and these aren't at night. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Micriobio and Anatomy should raise that 3.0. Physiology will most likely not. I take it you got a lot of B's in science classes?

TBH you're borderline at a lot of the more competitive schools but you have a good shot at the others. I would just apply and see what happens.
