    sGPA vs. cGPA: How big can the difference be? What's competitive?

    I know that MCAT plays a huge role, but I was wondering about how it would look if cGPA is abt 3.85 and sGPA is 3.65 (for a non-science major)? Would the difference between the cGPA and sGPA be a concern to ADCOMS? Would that sGPA even be considered competitive for top schools? Thanks in...

    Unbalanced sGPA and cGPA. Uneasy about school list. WAMC

    Hello all. I am currently a senior in undergrad and working on developing my school list.

    Is the 3.0 cutoff really a hard cutoff?

    My cGPA is a 2.99 and I need six more units of A's to get it above which i'm taking ~June 15- August 28, so the grades won't be in in time to raise me above the "3.0 threshold". By comparison, my sGPA is a 3.85 and postbacc gpa a 3.95 and my MCAT practice scores were 512-515 and I should receive...

    The truth about AMCAS GPAs

    Before I get into this I want to say please forgive my ignorance, I have a 3.6 cGPA but given that I have many A+s in my last two years, my AMCAS calculated cGPA is 3.53. For all intents and purposes will I be judged as a 3.53? Lets say I get in somewhere - when the medical school reports...

    Confused about BCPM GPA?

    Hello everyone, I'm curious about the BCPM GPA. I understand that it is Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics but do Psychology courses count as well?

    A GPA Discussion (Low cGPA, High sGPA, Trends, and HS College Work)

    Really how important is cGPA? I know if it's extremely low you can be screened out (by a computer?) What's typically the cutoff point for this? Although I feel cGPA is kind of run in the ground. When people ask "What Are My Chances?" wouldn't a much more relevant way to look at cumulative GPA be...

    Question about Grades

    I'm a junior with a 3.5 cGPA/3.4sGPA. I got to a school notoriously well-known for grade deflation where getting an A is very very difficult (I've gotten two in my college career thus far). Every class is an anxious wait to see whether I got an A- or a B+ at the end of the semester. Being...
