What's is the point of a post bacc if your grade is going to be averaged
So let's say someone failed 3 courses and retake them in a postbacc. Even if they get an A then that won't do much since the average will now be a C.

Do med schools at least see the post back grades separately and how do the post back academic complete help the app

It's to prove you now is different than you past. Getting a 3.0 5 years ago is less of a big deal if you get a 4.0 for a year now even if it only ends up averaging to 3.25.

PB grades are separated in the app.

That's not the point. It's about showing the you of now is not the you of then. Retaking just three failed classes and aceing them is all good, but that alone won't get your performance to be competitive, unless, say, you've aced everything in your junior and senior years.

Things should be clearer if you read Goro’s guide to reinvention that is posted here vs advice from other websites:

EDIT: Post in WAMC forum for recommended school lists. This thread isn't for that. So you want to be a doctor, but your GPA is terrible. Is that the end? Rule #1: Take a deep breath, and stop fussing. The sky is not falling. But you are going to need to reinvent yourself. This will take...
