It depends, what is your cGPA and how many credit hours do you have?

why? cause I'm still a sophomore? would taking more classes be better than retaking them?

Bingo. And then since those don't compute in your Sci GPA I wouldnt sweat them.

I would say go ahead and retake them. I retook college algebra, Trig, English and History. The retakes pumped my GPA of (120 credits) by 0.2. Besides, when your GPA improves, you'd be more motivated to keep it high. That's my opinion.

The English and Algebra could be viewed as the frosh weed out classes. It seems like you only have 3 A's to counteract those C's and the rest B's to get the 3.0 avg. If you're really serious about going into medicine I would suggest doing anything possible to get more A's. You haven't caused any damage yet (for DO application) but it is time to start bringing that cgpa up. The need may arise someday to retake those or other courses. For now you should just concnetrate on doing well in future clases to graduate with a 3.3 cgpa or above.

the math class does

BCPM

You may consider one retake a semester, but only get As! Also, figure out how to get a 3.5+ next semester and make it happen if you are interested in medicine.

Well my first year I got bad grades, but ever since only A's and B's. This semester I have chemistry, Human biology, Statistics, Physics and I have an A in all of them so far.

Math doesn't count for AACOMAS science GPA. But it sure does for AMCAS.
