Right now I'm doing a combined B.S./M.S. at UCSD in an ecology evolutionary bio lab but the thing is the whole thing is mostly lab work with only 3 graduate classes... so I told my PI i was leaving after my first quarter here (dont with my BS... didnt really think it thru thoroughly before i applied for MS also the lab work is not molecular its a lot of behavior ecology stuff which I have no interest in), my science GPA is low... my MED school PRE-REQ gpa is OK, but in themiddle to end of college I got sick and had some psychological problems because of it and I kinda just signed up for a bunch of hard bio classes without really thinking and hurt my GPA... after i got thru it, it settled how badly i hurt my GPA and I kinda lost all hope and stopped trying
My science GPA is a 3.07 right now, but my pre-req GPA is about 3.45... thx to hard upperdiv science classes that I didnt take seriously. Anyways it's early March and I want to apply to post-bacc for next year, take extension classes next quarter and during the summer and apply next year as well.
What is the best type of program for me...? I understand a lot of programs are for non-science majors who need to complete their pre-reqs and I have taken nearly all the science classes offered at my school...
