Reapplicant? Yes, I previously applied in 2018 but I had a low DAT and was not successful. Also, My science GPA was 2.95 and I was able to bring it up by last semester of college and by taking some upper level classes post bacc at a local CC including Anatomy I and II and Microbiology. overall my GPA had an upward trend last 2.5 years of college where I had A's and B's Mostly.
Nontrad? Yes, I graduated in December 2018, and took 2 years off where I did shadowing and research. Also, I took some upper level classes at a local CC to improve on my GPA which was 3.08 oGPA and 2.95 sGPA. I am planning to take 2 more classes this summer as well.
