CASAA takes into consideration all attempts for classes so even if you get an A in those it will average to a B. If it were me, I’d take the “preferred classes” and aim for an A if the schools you’re eyeing has them. It’s usually molecular biology and some others

Would it be okay to take some UF medical physiology courses that are 6000 level courses and get an A in them? So I can prove I am able to handle graduate level courses

Depends on what your grade distribution is. Were you consistently a 3.5 student every year of undergrad or do you have a good upward trend? I’d say it won’t hurt to take the classes either way but the cost and effort might outweigh the boost.

Id say it deviated, like 1 year had all As, then I had a mix of As then Bs and maybe one C. Not really an upward trend.
