Your cGPA is more or less fine. Boost your sGPA as much as humanly possible in the time you have left in UG. If you're scoring 510-513 on the practice tests, Id go ahead and take it now; an early application is pretty important--a 518+ though is never a sure thing regardless of how much you study.

A post bacc is a good option if you need to reapply, but depending on your final GPAs, MCAT, and overall application (ECs, PS, recs, etc) it may not be necessary/likely. Run your school list by the folks in WAMC when you do start putting that together, too.

Would you say the difficulty of the science classes matter? If I were to take like 2 really easy 100/200 level ones that wouldnt look good would it?

Wouldn't really matter, sGPA is (much) more important than course selection.

That's fine. A little padding is expected. Two As in easy science classes is better than getting a B+/A- or lower in a harder class at this point. Hopefully you've done well in some hard science classes along the way but you should be mostly concerned with bringing up your sGPA right now.

Great. Thanks. I'll consult some advisers but I think I'll try to get the MCAT over with this Friday and try to find some easy science classes to take. Sorta hard to do though since the bio dept is sort of the only classes I can look in (astonomy maybe?)

I wonder if this means I should submit my Texas App late then, but I'll worry about that later I guess
