I took the Physics 1 and 2 pre-reqs and got a C+ and C. All my other pre reqs were A's and B's. My cumulative GPA is a 3.55 but should be a 3.7 at the time I apply. Should I retake one or both of these Physics classes? Also, does retaking at a community college look bad? I would like to to save money. Thanks!

2/3rds of my classes were taken at a community college. 5 classes were retakes. My GPA was much lower than yours too...I got in to 2 out of 6 of my schools in Michigan which is a state notorious for being hard to get into.

In other words...your fine. lol
