Hi everyone,
I came across this thread today and I had a question to ask about how MD school's calculate GPA's? For example I attended a CC for four years to finish my associates degree while working a job in healthcare, and I'll be attending a four year university starting in the fall of 2016. In these four years I have repeated some courses that I did subpar in because of my CC's repeat policy. I know medical school admissions board accounts for past and repeated grades but how will it all be calculated for someone like me who will take 6 years to graduate with a bachelor's degree? I know some school's do weighted calculations whereas the year increases from 1-4 the weight of the GPA increases but how will it work when it is initially screened by the admissions board for allopathic programs?
My current CC GPA is a 3.4 after the repeats but prior to the repeats it's a 3.0. Can anyone also comment on realistically how high I can get my GPA with two years left in schoolor 90 credits?
