Should I bother with retaking classes?

[vtension]

Hi everyone,

 

I plan to apply next year and need some advice as to whether I should retake classes and take extra classes like Medical Terminology and Pathophysiology to increase my GPA. Or should I focus on strengthening my HCE? I'm about to start a full time job as a nurse tech at Emory University Hospital and trying to volunteer as much as possible currently.

 

Here are my stats:

 

B.S. in Biology

Age: 22

 

GPA

cGPA: 3.48

sGPA: 3.40 (low because I made a C in Organic Chemistry 2 and Toxicology)

Pre-req GPA: 3.56

 

GRE: Will take in a couple of months

 

HCE: 200 hours internship as a nurse tech and 2,000+ hours working at the hospital as a PCT by the time I apply. 

 

Activities/research: 2 years as research assistant in microbiology/bio remediation lab, currently graphic designing for university (18 hours a week), volunteering at 2 clinics as a CNA (6 hours/week)  and will be working on obtaining more community services and shadowing experience.

 

Thank you for any input!
