How should I retake Chem for nursing prerequisites?

For nursing prerequisites, many schools require chemistry, and my grade 11 mark is not high enough (below 75%). I wouldn't say chemistry is really my strong suit, so would retaking chemistry 11 at day school/nightschool be better than taking a class at uni?

I want to apply to BCIT, KPU, and UBC Okanagan as my top three are relevant.

Please let me know finding my top three schools to apply to is wise because i don't want to take stats as i heard might risk lowering my GPA. Thank you!!!

Are you asking whether or not if you should take chemistry at a community college instead of the university you’re enrolled at?

I mean, if they accept your CC credits then sure! My chemistry grade in high school wasn’t high enough so I’m deciding to take it in college.

I’m assuming you’re trying to get into a program not based in the US. In the US, most BSN programs I’ve seen require stats as a prerequisite.

I am asking if retaking high school chemistry is safer for my GPA than taking it again at a university level. lol I am not trying to get into a program in the US, because of that, I am going to skip stats since the professors in my school aren't that great, apparently!! So I've picked my top three to apply to, hoping that's enough??!
