<p>Unlike the US schools that look at BCPM GPA among others, some Canadian schools like UBC consider two separate GPA's: your premed prereq GPA and your overall GPA.
My premed prereq GPA is less than 3.6 due to horrible first year in which most of my premed prereq's were taken, unfortunately.
Since I've taken all my premed prereq's now, there's no way I can raise my premed prereq GPA, other than repeating certain premed prereq courses.
If you're only looking at the US schools, you wouldn't need to repeat premed prereq's and you'd be better off taking new BCPM courses instead because the net effect on your BCPM GPA would be the same. But this is not the case for some Canadian schools because it treats your premed prereq GPA separately from other non-premed prereq science courses. It only treats your intro chem, bio, math, and physics.
In this case, to increase your chance for Canadian schools, should you repeat those premed prereq's?</p>
<p>How come the number of views is only 1? I guess everyone thinks this is just another thread like previous "Repeated courses" ones, though this is different. I should've made the title a little different. :(</p>
