Total Units a Consideration for Acceptance?

[Winston_Barthow]

Hi,

I graduated two years ago with my BS. I have been taking additional classes with the aim of improving my overall GPA. In total, I've secured an additional 36 units post-undergrad with a GPA of 3.9.

I was recently turned down for several post-bac programs. My application (outside of my GPA) is strong, I have been published in several journals while also balancing a full-time job in the medical field. With every additional unit I take, the impact it has is less and less.

My question:
Do programs consider the number of units the applicant has completed (and therefore the benefit of the program on the applicant) when reviewing applications?
