I'm currently a junior at a UC campus and I saw some interesting classes offered at another UC. (University of California) Would it look bad to take a bunch of classes at the other UC while completing my reqs at my current UC? I would be taking some fun classes like cooking with science at our...

I took multivar calc freshman year and got a B. Would it look bad if I were to take precalc and calc as a junior/senior? What if I do this at a different state school?

I did poorly in 2 classes named "evolution of animal behavior" and "principles of evolution". By poorly, I mean I received Cs for these classes. My university does not put subject indicators in front of course codes, for example it will just say "269:304" instead of a typical "BIOL 101" for...

Sorry for the long post...I'm a non-traditional student meaning I completed my undergraduate classes over 15 years ago. My sGPA, particularly my undergraduate sGPA, was pretty low and just a bit above 3.0. The bad news is I got Cs in Physics both semesters of my undergraduate (as well as Bs in...

How should I approach my sGPA being much higher than my non-science GPA (engineering major)? My sGPA is ~3.9 while my cGPA is 3.78. I know schools care more about BCPM, so does it make sense to apply to schools where my cGPA is on the lower percentiles assuming that my high sGPA will be...

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...

Hello everyone, hope you guys are doing well :) So, I just rounded out the second half of my sophomore year and am looking back at my GPA. At the moment, my GPA is a 3.805, and will either be a 3.8229 or a 3.8035 depending on what I get in this one liberal arts class. Although I recognize that...

Hello! From calculating my GPA, I ran into a problem - my sGPA is right under 3.0...like a really high 2.9. To explain this number, the sGPA was raised from a lower level by a massive post-bacc effort, which spanned for years, that consisted of many upper-division science courses with hundreds...

I am an undergraduate student at a state school. With the incentive to graduate in early (recommendation by my HS counselor), I used all of my AP credits and community college credits to finish and get a BS in psych in 3 years. I went to my last choice school (was an environment which was not...

My sGPA is around a 3.37 but my cGPA is 3.77. I got a 520 on MCAT. What are my chances at MD school?

Hello all. I am currently a senior in undergrad and working on developing my school list. Unfortunately my cGPA and sGPA are rather unbalanced due to poor decisions made during high school (dual-credit). This leaves me pretty confused about what schools to apply to. Any and all advice is greatly...

Hello all, First of all: Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to reply to my thread. The reason why I want to get into a top 50 NIH funded school is because graduates from these schools in particular have an increase in matches into a Dermatology residency, which is the field...

Because I'm gonna take some undergraduate-level courses during grad school (at the same school where I'm doing my masters) would they end up in my normal GPA/sGPA or in my graduate GPA?

Hey everyone! I just looked at my AMCAS sGPA and didn't realize it was a 3.85. I already sent in my apps under the assumption that my sGPA was close to my cGPA. I'm just curious if you guy think I'm overshooting? Also if you have any suggestions for other schools to add to my list, I'd really...

Hey guys, I need some help on how to calculate my science GPA! Also, I have to re-take Physics 2 lecture so will the grade I receive when I re-take the course get averaged into my first attempt or is the latest attempt the one that counts towards my science GPA? Thank you in advance:)

I would really appreciate some advice on this because my advisor is not super clear. I am an international student that studied in the US, and want to know if there is any way to make up a bad grade in a pre-req that I have already taken. I have already graduated, so can't do the "A+ in Biochem...

Asked a question before digging into old posts. My bad!

Hi there! I've been looking around for a solid answer and seem to be getting mixed results. Is the sGPA all science grades averaged (science electives included) or is it just the courses required for medical school (general bio and chem, orgo, physics, statistics, and calculus)? Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken the cGPA is only for undergrad, but does sGPA carry into grad programs/post-baccs? I'll be taking physics, biochem, and orgo lab as a post-bacc and wasn't sure if these courses would be counted towards my sGPA.

Hello! First post in the podiatry forum :) I was looking through the AACPMAS course descriptions (I can't post links yet because I'm new) and realized math wasn't under science. Is this a recent change? All the older threads I've seen about course descriptions seemed to say math/statistics was...

i know my final sGPA is gonna be either a 2.95 or 3.01sGPA, after this semester.. my oGPA is a 3.3, and i was wondering if it makes a big difference? My first 2 semesters sGPA was a 1.9 and 2.6, so I’m on a big upward trend.

Hi, all! I would appreciate some advice as there's a void in pre-health advising at my university at the moment. Scripps College, Claremont CA graduating 2019 Major: Human Biology & Cross-Cultural Health; Minor: Spanish Female, white, 21 y.o. Southern CA resident cGPA: 3.71/ sGPA: 3.29 Goal...

Hey ya'll: So long story short, I've been in college for several years and decided I wanted to do medicine 3.5 years ago. Since then, I have averaged a 3.7 GPA and have a sGPA of 3.65. I've done tremendously well and worked very hard. I plan on taking the MCAT this summer (Summer 18) and...

Simple question.. 3.3 oGPA, 22 DAT, i have my PS ready, LORs ready, and ive volunteered and shadowed 150+ hours each. I have leadership (President of Pre-Dent Club, etc..) Im applying early in June and im just nervous about my sGPA. Im also applying to 15+ schools, but would like any help on...

Current GPA sits at a good 3.28, SGPA 3.25. I did an internship at a dental office for a semester and currently hold an officer position in 2 organizations. I also work. Have over the minimum 100 hours for both shadowing & volunteering hours. I honestly don't think I'll get an A in any of my...

Hey everyone, I am looking for some advice on how good my chances are based on my GPA, hypothetical MCAT score, and extracurriculars. Also is there anything else I can add to my resume, or do to increase my competitiveness? (white male, age 25) By the time I apply I will have: ~10 months...

Hi all, I'm a 21 year old senior at an accredited university in Puerto Rico. After much indecisiveness, I've set my eyes on studying medicine in the U.S. However, for the past three years, I've managed to pass most of my classes (I'm an Anthropology major) with little to none study habits and...

Hi all, Sorry ahead of time to post this kind of a question. I know it is nuanced, but I have searched through the posts, looked at AMCAS stats and SLU's self reported stats but am still a bit unsure about my chances. Looking to see if anyone may have insight or experience with SLU that can be...

Hey everyone! I'm going to be applying to med schools next cycle and am worried that my GPA is going to severely hinder my application. GPA: Private university known for grade deflation, though that's not an excuse cGPA= 3.58, sGPA= 3.33 (All A's and B's with exception of one C+ in Genetics)...

My application is pretty much complete (PS done, editing work and activities section but everything else is in) and I got my MCAT score back today. Here are my stats: MCAT: 513, 89th percentile, 128/127/129/129 sGPA: 3.38 cGPA: 3.62 Majors: Biology and Women, Gender & Sexuality Part of the...

Hi all, Should I apply now without this last grade (with an sGPA of 3.36) to make sure I'm on the early side, but exclude this final grade from my sGPA? Or, should I wait it out and hope I get my new transcript processed by the end of June and submit by 6/30? Any advice is sincerely appreciated!

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...

500 MCAT Chem/phys - 124 CARS - 126 Bio/biochem - 125 Psych/Soc - 125 I'm going for MD but if there's no hope, then I would go DO. I know that I need to retake the MCAT for a better chance, especially for MD and that is my plan. However, my question is: Do you think low tier MD schools will...

Hi everyone! I was talking to my advisor today about how since I have the space in my schedule, I would like to take classes in the sciences that a biology major wouldn't take, just because they interest me. I told her I wanted to take intro to environment, astronomy, Jurassic physics, Etc...
