Where do I go from here?

[president1991]

Hello all,

I am to to this forum, so bear with me if I am breaking any rules, or doing something wrong.

What steps can I take after graduating with a 2.71 GPA (Biology major) to help me with applying into medical school or DO schools? I understand that my undergraduate GPA is too low, and many people take post-bac courses to 'boost' it. Can someone explain to me how this works?

I want to know what steps I can take from here.

Thanks

Take advantage of the DO grade replacement policy and retake the courses that are pulling your GPA down.

How would I go about in retaking the courses that pulled my gpa down? I see that most post-bacc admissions require at least a gpa of 2.75, which I fall short of.

Thanks

Is it possible to enroll as a part-time student at your former institution and just take classes? Then you can take the exact same classes that are on your transcript and have them be replaced without any fuss.

Sounds legit.

My school (Stony Brook) does not allow retakes on courses unless they are failed courses that are required for the major.

Take them somewhere else.
