Hi this is my first time posting in this community, and I need a little bit of advice. So this post might be a little long, though I will try not to make it very long.

So I will be graduating in about two weeks with my bachelor's in psychology. And my science GPA will be a little less than 3.1-3.0, cGPA ~3.4 I believe. I applied to a post-bacc program that is more of a go at your own pace and kind of DIY. So my plans for the fall are to do this post-bacc program and possibly get into research on campus and raise my sGPA. However, I recently found myself a mentor, and they suggested that I do a master's instead of a post-bacc, considering I've completed most, if not all, of the course prerequisites. The issue is, I don't know what I would focus on if I were to consider a master's. I've been thinking maybe psychology, but I also am not very passionate about certain topics in psychology, and then I've also thought about science, but it is also the same as psych and it may be harder with a psych background. I feel like I should continue with the post-bacc; however, I also understand where they were coming from.

If I were to complete a master's in psychology, what would that show medical schools, and what about my science GPA? I know that some can get into school with lower GPA's, but I also know it all just depends on other extracurricular activities. I don't know what to do for now. I am thinking of just sticking to going through with the post-bacc, where I would be retaking some courses and also taking new courses to boost my sGPA.

I don't really have anyone I can talk to about this, so I'm not sure the best route I should take.
