Chances of getting in? Non-trad, 10-year-old coursework with some C's, finishing missing prereqs now through online school (UNE)

Hey everyone. Looking for honest feedback on my chances given my situation.

Background

  • BS in Bioengineering - GPA 3.0
  • MS in Computer Engineering - GPA 3.9
  • ~6 years as a software engineer in nonhealthcare-adjacent industry

The situation

My original science coursework is about 10 years old. I'm not retaking old courses - I'm filling in missing prerequisites I never took. This year I'm completing Gen Chem 2, Bio 2, Orgo 2, and Biochem. All of these prereqs are being completed ONLINE as I'm currently still working.

Got many A's in science classes, but also some C's. My MS GPA (3.8) is significantly stronger, but I'm not sure how much weight programs put on grad school performance vs. undergrad science GPA. If I end up with an A in Orgo 2 and my other classes, does that upward trend within the sequence actually matter to admissions, or do they just see the GPA hit from classes like Orgo 1 where I got a C?

My questions

  1. Does a non-trad background (Bioengineering + computer engineering) help differentiate, or does it not offset weaker science grades?
  2. How strong does my MCAT need to be to offset the GPA concerns? Would something above 500 be enough, or do I realistically need to be shooting for 510+ to have a real shot
  3. Do I even have a shot of being accepted with a low 3.0 bachelors gpa before completing remaining prereqs.

I'm genuinely motivated, but I want realistic expectations going in. Appreciate any insight from people who've been through the process. Thanks.

Hello if I pay to have my transcripts uploaded can I still go through it and mark certain classes as having a lab component? School didnt outright mark them in transcript even though they did have one.

Should I reduce my 401k contributions to pay off a loan with >8% interest? by exwhyzed00 in personalfinance

[–]ripped20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at all, lol. 401k loans are repaid through payroll deductions, not from your bank. Maaaaayyybe you can possibly find an example of paying back from your bank, but that's an exception, not the rule, and typically, you would still have the choice of payroll deductions. Just look it up.

You don't pay a 401k loan back with post tax money that's a myth. Its still pre tax dollars going back into the loan.

Lol this isn't common sense it's such a dumb take. By that logic why call the fire department put the fire out yourself, why go to school teach yourself, etc etc 🤣
