hey everyone! i'm a junior in college right now. my three semesters didn't go very well, and now i'm stuck with a 2.8 overall GPA. i've already started an upward trend with a 3.3 last semester. anyway, i'm about to register for classes for next semester and i need some advice. as of now i've only completed three classes that are requirements for pre-med. some postbacs are only for people who haven't taken any of the requirements and some say less than half and things like that. then, there are others that want you to have all the classes.

do you think i should try to do the requirements during undergrad or try to hold off so i can get into one of the postbac programs that requires you to have taken few of the requirements?

as a side note, i'm a neuroscience major, so by the time i finish my major the classes i will have take that overlap with premed requirements are one semester gen chem, one semester orgo, two semesters bio, and two semesters calc.

so, should i just go ahead and try to get all these classes over with?

3.3 is an improvement but still quite subpar. are you certain you can make As

edit:also, as it stands, you've taken a majority of pre-reqs as it is.

To finish your major, you're going to have to take a majority of the pre-med pre-reqs. I would just go ahead and take them. Work really hard to make as close to a 4.0 as possible from here on out, especially in the sciences, and then maybe think about taking a GPA improvement or SMP program after college if you still think you need it.

Just my two cents...
