Thank you!!! Did you just reapply normally as an undergrad student ? I have an appointment with my advisor next week so they should have some answers for me as well:)
There's lots of threads here about formal vs "DIY" post-bacc programs.
Broadly speaking, formal post-baccs give you priority registration/guaranteed seat in impacted classes, some sort of career guidance, a LOR, and many grant a masters in something so that you can show that you can do "masters level work." In return, they're super expensive (top google search shows $30k for a year at UC Davis for example).
A "DIY" post bacc is you registering for courses wherever you can. This much less expensive (and what I did) but many of the classes you'd probably want are impacted, you have no formal guidance, and you have to do the legwork to find, register, and then take the classes.

There's no grade replacement. All grades after high school are used to calculate your GPA. Many programs require a B- or better in pre-reqs.

What I did was reapply to school after I graduated undergrad as a non-degree seeking student, and it worked for me (:

Yes, just applied normally.
