Hello,
Thank you, first of all to anyone choosing to reply to my post and taking out the time to guide me in the right direction... My undergrad GPA is quite low, embarrassingly low in fact, and I have done my research on whether to do a formal post-bacc or SMP or a DIY post-bacc. I have come to the conclusion that I need to take many many credits to boost my GPA and a second bachelor's degree is what I need (I don't plan on finishing and will ditch the program once I have boosted up my GPA enough). Another reason for choosing a second bachelors degree is because I want to be a degree-seeking student for FAFSA reasons or else I will just do a DIY post-bacc. I have all the science pre-req (very low science gpa too) except for biochem, so the extra classes whether a second bachelor's or DIY, is simply to boost the gpa. Now my first question is: do I need to choose a science major for this second degree or should I choose just any degree and take loads of science classes? Because I don't plan on finishing the degree anyway, so does it really matter? My second question is: since I have all my pre-req science classes done and some elective science classes as well (bad grades in most of them), in my new degree do I retake the same courses for a better grade?
I had a few more questions which I can't remember right now 🙁 But please anyone who knows from experience or has knowledge regarding my situation, kindly let me know...
Thank you,
Alvina.
