Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place I'm new here.
Hi, I need some advice! I already know I am not a traditional pre-pa student. Here are my stats:
2017-2019:
Biology of Cells - C
A&P 1 - C
A&P 2 - C
Micro - C
Genetics - C
2020 (Spring, Summer, Fall):
Gen Chem 1 - B
Gen Chem 2 - A
Organic Chem - B
Organic Chem Lab - A
Spring 2020 GPA: 3.75
Summer 2020 GPA: 3.67
Fall 2020 GPA: 3.75
Compared to previous semesters an upward trend is definitely happening. It’s just I feel like it’s to late for that to count for much.
2021 Spring:
BioChem - TBD
Physics 2 - TBD
sGPA = 2.53
cGPA = 3.26
I already know that I have to do a post-bac, most likely a diy depending on how high I can get my gpa before graduation.
The question is should I retake 1-2 classes I originally got a C in before I graduate? Or should I take classes like Organic Chem 2, Essential Physiology (Bio class), etc? I know that when doing my post-bac I will retake classes that I got a C in. So would it be a better decision to take upper-level classes before I graduate & retake lower-lever at my local community college? I could also retake classes from the college I’m graduating from its just more expensive.
Other stats:
SpnGPA: 3.8 - Major
PsyGPA: 3.8 - Minor
Thanks for any help!

To my veteran PAs:
I recently received an email about the Student to Service HRSA scholarship that states NPs and Certified Midwives are now eligible disciplines for the upcoming scholarship cycle. The reason for the addition is the bolster primary care and obgyn providers in underserved and rural areas. Makes sense to me... however to my surprise PAs are not included in this scholarship opportunity.
Is this an issue that the AAPA would take up? If not, who can I write about this issue other than the HRSA?

Hello all!
I recently got accepted to PA school and am over the moon! Unfortunately I am running into some issues obtaining financial aid as an F-1 student without a US citizen or permanent resident as a co-signer. Any insights from international students before me and the scholarships/ loans they recommend would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you so much!

I am currently in my undergrad, and was supposed to be taking Bio 1 and Chem 2 this Summer. With the current pandemic my state has made all universities online for the Summer 2020 semester, transitioning the courses I was supposed to be taking to online. After talking to a Pre-PA advisor from my university, she has advised that I hold off taking these classes since PA schools do not look favorably at online science courses. Unfortunately, if I don’t take Chem 2 this Summer semester it will push off being able to apply to my major causing an extra year of school for me. I understand that PA schools do not look favorably upon online sciences, but even with the current pandemic could this be a problem?
