Is it worth taking a course over again?

<p>If I get a B in an intro class, will it matter for med school or not if I retake it over again? It will not erase the grade, it will just add a second grade. What if I got multiple B’s? What if it’s a C? What if it’s just one B? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Taking a class over just because you got a B is a huge waste of time. Yes, you want to keep your GPA up, but grad schools would rather see a decent GPA with tons of involvement outside of the classroom than someone would used their time to retake courses for a perfect 4.0.</p>

<p>MD Med school admissions will see the B and the grade you retake. DO schools will only see the retake.</p>

<p>retaking for a B is a waste of time. Don’t worry about it and move on.</p>

<p>Many schools won’t allow you to retake a class if you got anything above a C-.</p>

<p>ok thats a relief. what about a C?</p>

<p>I’ve never had experience with taking a class over but maybe they would see a motivated student; a good sign that someone was willing to put effort into getting a higher grade or possibly trying to learn more?</p>

<p>To me it says that they were just trying to game the GPA system and not learn anything, but I guess I’m not a grad school adcom.</p>
