Hey everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if you can help me with post bacc for upcoming future.
Short Story
Spend in community college for 5 years with 2.4 cGPA, 2.2 cGPA
Spend in an university for 3 years with 2.8 cGPA, 2.7 sGPA
Overall GPA: 2.5 cGPA, 2.4 sGPA
Unfortunately, I did not do well in my lower division prerequisite class as I got C for all of the course:
Gen Chem I and II: C
Organic Chem I: B
Organic Chem II: B
Physics I, II, III: C
Microbiology: D
Genetics: D
Gen Bio I: C
Gen Bio II: D
Calculus: B
As you can see, all of these courses were taken at community college. When I was at an university as a chemistry major, I did better with upper chemistry class as I got all B's and C's for the courses which equivalence to a 2.7 sGPA. However, that is still very short of my expectation in trying to get majority of A's.
I have taken a break from school for about a year just to get my act together. In mean time, I work as an EMT currently and I would like to continue following my dream in becoming a doctor. I feel lot more refresh and I have thought a lot about my past mistakes and learn how to overcome it.
So now, I am here thinking about doing a post bacc. I am planning to retake all of the prerequisite courses at a UCLA extension for 2 years and then apply for SMP in the following year. Do you think that would be a best idea to approach it? Or should I approach that differently?
Thank you.
