Does it help to retake courses?

by drayarms (Posted Sun Mar 31, 2013 4:31 pm)I struggled to make it through college due mostly to financial hardships and my cumulative reflected that (a mere 3.43 which I understand is below average for med school applicants). I just want a fair assessment of personal opinions as to how likely I am to get into med school with that GPA. I plan to spend the next year studying for the MCAT with the hope of getting a much better than average score. Is it worth the trouble? But more importantly, is it worth retaking some of the courses (like O Chem) that contributed to my less than stellar GPA as I also plan to do? Thanks for any genuine opinions.
