Hi!
Do you know the average GPA for students who get in to GW's post bacc program? What if I receive a 3.4 by the time I finish graduating (currently a senior in the fall). Does that lose my chances of being considered into the program? I want to do a post bacc program, but a lot of programs in CA require you to be a disadvantaged student, which I am not. So I stumbled across GW's program and surprisingly it fits everything that I've been looking for! Any advice or recommendations?

I didn't do my best in some classes, and I want to re-take them to score better and get a better understanding of the material. Is that possible?

I would technically also finish all my required classes.
