I could use as much help as I can get, thanks everyone!! So, I'm currently in my last year in my undergrad in Ontario,Canada and my GPA isn't the absolute best.. but could be worse. I am planning on applying to Optometry school this year for the September 2018 year, and I know the registration...

I am a sophomore in undergrad currently and plan to finish undergrad with a biology degree. I have taken two anatomy/physiology classes with labs and made an A in both of them. However, these two classes are not in my 4yr degree plan. Will they still be fully counted in my cGPA and sGPA? or will...

I'm applying to PT school this cycle, and I feel as if my stats are very weak as compared to some of the others that I've seen for this cycle. University: University of North Texas Major: Kinesiology Overall GPA: 3.31 Pre-Req GPA: 3.3 GRE: 152 verbal 155 quant 4.0 writing Extra-Curric: Research...

Hello OT community, My SO is very interested in becoming an OT. I'm applying to PT school and I know we have PTCAS where you can easily reference the prerequisite courses and average accepted GPAs for most schools. Is there a similar link for OT prereqs and GPAs? If not, what do most of them...

Hopefully this helps people. Accurate with information from the first week of September 2017. If new information is not available, it remains from the prior update in April 2017.

Hi, I am in my 4th year of my biology degree at Acadia University, and was wondering if anyone knows the chances I will get accepted to medical schools, particularly Dalhousie, Norhtern Ontario, MUN.. etc. I am going to be taking a year as an independent student while I apply. - 3.5 gpa -...

hey guys! So I was looking at Puerto Rico's optometry school. For the course prerequisite gpa that they calculate, does anyone know if the take the higher grade or most recent grade in a retaken course? I retook Gen Chem and Physics, so I was trying to see what my prerequisite gpa would be for...

Hey guys! I figured I'll start a thread for those of us applying to IAUPR this cycle:) Applying to grad schools can be hella stressful but hopefully we can help each other out through the process:)

Good evening fellow SDNers, I am going to keep this short! Just wrote my first DAT and my scores are as follows: PAT - 20 QR - 15 RC - 21 BIO - 22 GC - 21 OC - 24 Total Science - 22 AA - 21 GPA 1st degree - 3.2 (At NESCAC School) GPA 2nd degree - 3.8 For QR I used DAT destroyer and up to...

Hey guy! So I retook some classes to help my GPA, but I'm a little worried that it will be a red flag and not even get me an interview:( My GPA is around 3.0 for both overall and science (including the retakes). Is there anyone here that is in a similar situation? Or anyone who received...

Hey guys! So I came across an OAT study guide that I found online and it said that some schools weigh the OAT more heavily than GPA. I understand that all aspects of an application is important but I was just curious since I'm going to be applying this cycle. Do you guys know any schools that...

Hello, I am not quite sure if math classes like precalc and statistics are applied to one's science GPA. Any help would appreciated.

The school i go to uses a 4.0, 3.9, 3.7, 3.6..etc grade system. for example my physics class required a 98-100% to get a 4.0, 96-97% 3.9..etc and I have a lot of science courses in the 3.6-3.8 range, which on the AMCAS conversion sheet for my school, it converts to an A- .I am clueless as to if...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding undergrad grades. I am in the beginning of sophomore year now. Realistically speaking, if I made nothing but A's and B's throughout my 4yrs of college, how many B's could I make and still have a realistic chance of getting into MD (or even DO) school...

I have a pretty steady upward trend from a rocky beginning to college and am looking like I'll graduate with ~ a 3.5 - 3.6 cGPA and sGPA. Should I still be considering SMP programs or should I be looking at other options during my two gap years?

I'm taking medical terminology as a silent science GPA booster instead of one of the more obvious classes like nutrition or intro to microbiology, and I was curious if it counted to wards my science GPA ? It's called MED 120.

Hi I'm currently enrolled in a Respiratory Therapy program at a local CC. I had a couple of questions on what would be the best path to medical school. I recently just finished talking to the pre-med advisor at the university i initially attended to discuss different paths for med school and...

I will be starting my Junior year this week. I currently have a (very horrible) 2.6 GPA, with 67 credits taken so far (I had one very horrible semester due to a family issue and that cause my very average GPA to tumble down to a horrible level; I did retake some of these classes but they haven't...

Where in PTCAS can I find my calculated pre-req GPA? I submitted on Monday have already been verified. I found my overall calculated GPA when I downloaded my individual app to each school but don't see where it says pre-req GPA? Any thoughts?

I Just took my DAT and I did pretty bad in the QR section although I did well in the other sections. I wanted to know if I had a shot in this cycle considering it's August. I have a great committee letter, research experience, an honors thesis, was president of an honor society in UG, and have...

Hi everyone just a quick question regarding the GPA calculations. Are separate labs included in science GPA? For example for general and organic chemistry the labs were separate grades from the lecture. Thank you!

Just curious what the heck the difference is between these two... Have searched anywhere and can't find it. I read BCP consists of upper and lower level courses, such as Physiology, Biochem, Molecular, etc. Anyone have a list?

I am sure there are a bunch of us here with pretty low stats (either MCAT or GPA or both) who are now sitting twiddling our thumbs waiting for interview invites wondering if they will ever come. We are also probably in it for the long haul. Sooo, if there are any accepted/matriculated low...

Hey, so I'm wondering others' opinions on a topic I'm considering writing on for some of the 'additional comments' sections of secondaries. Essentially, I'm a Bio major and English minor, and my science GPA is a 3.7 from mostly A/A-'s, however, my cumulative GPA is a 3.6 because I found my...

Hi ! Was just wondering what you guys thought of my situation, my undergrad GPA is a 3.2 (studied foreign language and political science) but I did a post bac and now have a 3.7 (in the postbac not overall, overall ~3.4), both done at Ivy leagues. Haven't taken the real MCAT but practice tests...

Hi everyone, first time actually posting something here, My anxiety has gone through the roof with this. I have a 2.7 cGPA. I'm a senior college. And I havent taken the MCAT yet (will be on Sept 9) and after all this I still want to apply to medical school. In terms of volunteering/shadowing...

I am about to start my junior year with a cumulative GPA of 3.16 as a biology major. The maximum GPA I could finish with is just above a 3.5 and I am confident that I can pull it up to that with my academic plan. I let myself have too much fun in extracurriculars and going out on top of needing...

wondering if anyone here has done well with it? I only know of one friend that highly recommended it. I see a lot of you posting about self-studying, personally, im not too good with that so I prefer to have a structured class as I feel I need to score well in the DAT to even have a shot at...

I have read hundreds of blogs on here, including all that relate to this question. However I was hoping for more guidance. I am a biomedical engineering student starting senior year and will probably graduate w/ 3.2. I have strong EC (shadowing,research,etc). I was thinking it would be better...

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some input on my school list. When I originally submitted my primaries, I had a 3.83 cGPA (with a similar sGPA) and an MCAT score of 507. However, I just received my new MCAT score on 8/1 and I scored a 519 (97th percentile). I'm not really sure how to approach...

While I am able to find plenty of threads that touch on the significance of common poor gpa trends (i.e. steady downward trend, v-shaped trend, and bell shaped trend) in light of post-bacc performance, I have been unable to locate a thread that specifically highlights the trends I have. I've...

Hi: I just finished my summer math class, differential equations. But I only got B+. Due to the application process, I did not have enough time to study. And it was the instructor's first time taught this class, he did not explain the concepts clear. The final was hard, even he admitted that...

When I started community college, I had family struggles which impacted my gpa. My parent aren't supportive and I was struggling from lack of resources to navigate college and poverty. My current gpa is 2.7 from community college and looking forward to transfer in Fall 2018 for undergraduate...

Sorry if this is a repeat post. Couldn't find anything when I searched. I submitted my AACOMAS application and was verified. When I looked at my GPA's I saw they were off. So I looked at my classes and saw they completely removed two of my summer classes (7 credits of A's). I spoke to them on...

Did anyone with "good" but not amazing credentials (includes GPA, MCAT score, EC's) get an offer from a medical school (preferably Canadian) d/t having a great CASPER? I know CASPer marks are not given to us, but perhaps it was mentioned in an interview for example? Just wondering, because for...

Heu guys! So what I've gathered from friends, the GPA is worth like 35% of your app, DAT is 35%, interview is 10%, and everything else is worth like 20%...... Does anyone who've been through the process find this true? Also, would it look concerning if you got a high GPA and a average DAT...

Hello, I was hoping you could give me an idea of how my transcript will be viewed by an adcom. Apologies in advance for rambling. I have a 3.75 cGPA and a 3.82 science GPA. Unfortunately, I had to withdraw from a semester (sophomore fall) for health issues. Further, I didn't get proper...

Hello, this is my first time applying to dental school. I took the DAT recently, submitted my applications & supplementals about a week ago, and applied broadly. I wanted feedback on my chances of getting into dental school. AA: 23 TS: 22 Bio: 20 GC: 23 OC: 23 PAT: 20 RC: 23 QR:28 I have a...
