<p>In my intro to psych class i got a C- at a 4 year institution, (when academics were not as important as my athletic scholarship). Is it a good idea to retake that class to show that I am really committed to my major and was not focused then (I can elaborate in my personal statement) ?? I know the C- will be factored into my GPA, and the new grade I earn will not, but will it still help?</p>
<p>Yes it seems to be a good idea if it is a class pertinent to your major…I would go for it, get an A, and then elaborate like you said ;)</p>
