Hi,
So I just got my grades back from this past quarter, and due to some other issues, I didn't do so hot as I should have. C in biochem 1, C- in psych, and D+ in an ecology course (through bio dept.). I know I need to retake the ecology course before I graduate, but since it factors into BCPM, though not a prereq, should I try to take it before or after applying? Thanks 🙂
 
Ok will do. Im registered to take biochem 2 this next quarter. If I do well enough to mitigate that C and to show that I know what Im doing, would be ok to retake the first biochem my senior year while I'm applying or is playing it safe just the best option with all three again?

Calculate what your GPA would be with a retake and without, then decide if a retake for that C is worth it or not.
