inspiring-curmudgeon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'm taking orgo right now, and I should get a 90, as long as I don't mess up the final. Is there any disadvantage to me taking it again in 2nd year? I won't have to go to any classes, just labs, and write the exams for an easy 90+. Plus, I'll be insanely ready for the MCAT. Will schools look down on/not count this course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Why would you ever retake a course you did well in? Too much $? If so, please send some my way, I'll find better use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I admire your enthusiasm but I don't think that is the best use of your time. First of all the O-Chem part of the mcat is relatively small. Your time would likely be better spent studying for the test as a whole. Second you already have a 90, which is a 4.0 on the GPA scale. That is the higher possible value, so even a high 90+ couldn't help you in anyway - obviously in any case med schools would not consider both for credit. Imagine how easy it would be if they did to hit the GPA requirements - you just take the same courses over and over again. I would recommend doing something else to boost your application.

The Law Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 You might even be able to pull off a 91 next time. Come on buddy, live a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
