Hello! I just have a quick question that I haven't been able to figure out clearly quite yet. In the fall semester, I did badly in a biochemistry course. I am planning to apply to MD and DO schools. I was planning to retake it but currently I only have two options:

1) Take a biochemistry course at my university in the spring semester. However, it will not be the same course but a similar one. Thus, I won't be able to replace the grades on AACOMAS but hopefully shows improvement in a biochem course?

OR

2) Take a biochemistry course at another 4-year university in the fall. I can then do grade replacement. I was initially planning on applying this coming cycle but with such a late course, should I plan to apply for next year's cycle instead?

Thanks!!
