mbstudent99 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hey! I am an undergrad senior, and my sophomore year I studied abroad and took an intro evolution course. I had an extreme extenuating circumstance that caused me to miss the final for the course (which was worth 100% of the grade), and I had to retake the final 6 months later during midterms week of the following semester. The grade ended up transferring to my home institution as a C+, and I was wondering if I should retake the course. I know that CASPA does not do grade replacements, so I was wondering if I should just work at taking other upper-level science courses instead or if it is worth it retaking it to prove I can succeed in normal circumstances. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help! No, I don't think you need to retake that course. Evolution is not a prereq for PA school either. I would focus on succeeding in upper level science courses! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
