If my undergraduate grades are non-competitive, will taking classes or getting a masters degree help?
A. The Admissions Committee does tend to consider recent academic work as more reflective of an applicant’s current ability and potential than academic work done in years past. AMCAS puts all undergraduate-level coursework performed after receipt of the initial baccalaureate degree on a separate line, so that your second-degree GPA should be easy to distinguish from the GPA of your first degree.
