My position: I just transferred this year to U.C. Berkeley as Junior from a state school, where I had a 3.89 GPA. Once at Berkeley (this summer), I decided to take a couple of classes, specifically o-chem, which I was behind on taking. Unfortunately, I didn't receive financial aid for the summer due to some technicalities, so I needed to work (I own a small business) while attending classes...and take care of my daughter part-time. I just got my grades back today and here they are; .5 PE class A, o-chem lab 2 units A, o-chem lecture 3 units C+. So here are my questions:
1. Would it be beneficial for me to transfer to an easier school to maintain a higher GPA?
2. Should I retake the o-chem lecture?
3. Do med-schools take undergraduate university difficulty into consideration?
Oh, and yes, I am 24, have lots of work experience, not much research/volunteering experience, and I'm a part-time dad of a 5 year-old.
Thank you.
