Taking Undergraduate Courses to Improve GPA


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am a long-time participant on this forum and was hoping someone could help me out. I am a graduate applicant (MSc. done in 2020) with OMSAS GPA 3.74, ~3.77 wGPA, 512 MCAT (125 CARS). My ECs are very diverse. I am heavily involved with my community, I do a lot of STEM teaching, translation work and have ~7 pubs with 3 more on the way. I only applied to UofT this year to not regret not applying even though money is tight (I have yet to hear back, although I am not optimistic).

At this point, I have acknowledged that I need to pursue a plan B and I have secured an entry level pharma job and I plan to continue to pursue med as I work. Clearly my GPA is my greatest weaknesses. I was wondering how taking individual courses would be looked at vs completing a second undergrad? Mind you, these would be courses I could use as pre-reqs for US med schools (physics, orgo, biochem, english).

Thank you in advance and good luck to all those still waiting!
