Hey all,
So I know we are still trying to determine what the effects of COVID will be on the admissions process, and that there are more important things to worry about for many people at this point and time, but as a non-trad who has completed all of my pre-reqs, I was looking at continuing some GPA repair to try and bring my cGPA from a 3.36 to a ~3.42+ by the time I apply next year. My AMCAS sGPA is a 3.56, but I planned on taking all upper level bio courses to help bring this up as well.
Luckily, I have an upward trend: 2.67GPA in both Freshman and Sophmore years at a community college, 3.1 in my Junior year, 3.56 in Senior year at a state university. My post-bacc has been great, with a 3.95 GPA over 81 credit hours, but I have done it all a community college as a non-trad and I'm worried that my post-bacc doesn't look as good because I've only taken a few upper level bio courses - Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry I and II.
I was looking at possibly continuing my post-bacc at the nearest state college. It is a 1-2 hour commute each way, and I couldn't swing it with my previous job, but my schedule has changed which allowed me to consider it. Unfortunately, classes are all online in Florida for the foreseeable future.
I know these are uncharted waters, but I'm hoping Adcoms have had time to discuss these types of issues. My question is: With the traditional stigma against online classes, I was wondering if the adcoms here thought there would be much point in trying to continue repairing my GPA if classes are online?
