HeidiPhan Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hi everyone, I am planning to apply for PA programs next cycle (2018). However, I am wondering whether I should retake the 4 courses: Physiology w lab (C+), Anatomy (C+), Ochem1 (C), and Biochem (C). If yes, would it be just fine if I retake them at a 2-year college? I can't really afford to retake them at a university. And what grade should I get when retaking them? Thank you so much!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retake anatomy and physiology because some programs will only accept a B minus or higher for prerequisite courses. Earn the highest academic marks possible since caspa (central application service for pas) will take the average of both scores Example: anatomy C, second: A average = B Community colleges are great on your pocket book and the science professors will be a great resource for 1/3 or 1/5 letter of recommendations. Fee waivers are also available if you qualify for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdabrowski Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Definitely retake Anat/Phys courses. If you have time retake the Ochem. I redid my Gen chem at a CC and it was a meer 800$ for me to retake it (got the A) and it has led to me getting 3+ interviews by make every pre-req except 1 an A. Worth the time to do it.

LDI5 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I would retake anatomy and phys as well. Doesn't matter where as long as you shoot for an A in both. When it comes to Ochem and Biochem I would only retake 1 of those, if at all, which ever one you feel you could get the highest grade in. Some programs don't even require ochem though so keep that in mind as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
