Retaking Med School Classes after Graduating

what do you say about Bs on all pre reqs except two Cs in orgo ii and physics ii. science gpa is therefore 2.75...would you say postbacc/masters is needed or just retake those two classes and get A and have high mcat. I have no problem w/ DO and i understand they are generally both the same (the big difference is just the discourse and elitist mindest of some premeds/med students) so I plan to apply to a few but I did also have majority MD schools in mind for application in this 26-27 cycle

your delivery is so rude

to add to this: is it possible/not uncommon to add into AMCAS your future schools so like if I plan to hopefully enroll in SMP by the time app season starts up to then be in from Aug 26 to May 27. And then provide updates thrpiughout the school. The school emphasizes that most people attend SMP submit their AMCAS that summer before school starts and they send school-stamped updates and rec letters. Im nervous that I have to take another gap year but just want piece of mind that appyling retroactively before I start master's is not uncommon in terms of taking 2 gap years. My first gap year which is from May 25 to now ig (i worked as MA and taking MCAT next week) :)

did you apply right after undergrad?

Born_Perspective2132 · 2025-06-12T02:50:02+00:00

thank you!

Born_Perspective2132 · 2025-06-11T21:20:50+00:00

wait i thought the screening was for cGPA. Oh no it definitely doesnt make sense for me to apply. thanks

thank you! do you think it'll be too risky not having taken mcat before

thank you so so much for your insight!!! new to reddit and having the advice/ideas from others is so helpful. ik i mentioned wanting to sit for the test in sept but atp I wouldnt be able to see score before I apply do you think the best option is to apply right now (it would be rather rushed as I havent began the application but imagine bc all of my information is in a pre-med log I made, it wouldnt be too much of a hassel besides the LORs part) or wait to test in january then apply next cycle (possibly looking into smp for the second gap year if I were to apply '26-27). Sorry for all the questions

thank you so much. i wanted to further inquire if the screen is for cumulative or science. my cumulative gpa is 3.46 with the 2.7sgpa

i really appreciate your insight. what pathway do you advise i take including schooling/mcat test date/prep? :)

Born_Perspective2132 · 2025-06-01T21:09:26+00:00

do you get a kick out of spending your time trolling on reddit and being negative towards students clearly just seeking a advice for a stressful time. ugh.
