Hey everybody, sorry if this is a repeat of any threads but I wasn't able to find my answer so i started a new thread, I have 2 questions.
1. In terms of DO schools, or maybe this applied to allopathic too, but do they look at the overall gpa more so then the science gpa, because in terms of taking higher level science classes i've done biochemistry and intermediate inorganic chemistry and recieved a B/C and a C respeativly, other then that i havn't taken anything other then that, my major is exercise science with an allied health focus so most of my courses are those pertaining to that major as i changed from an undecided to that in my junior year. I am repeating ,my lower core biology courses after recieving a C and B/C again also for DO schools at a school other then my own...its too expensive, some DO schools told me this would be okay.
2. my second question is that i am concerned how they calculate my gpa in general, see I've done alot of summer classes at other schools in my area (tampa fl) because again summer classes are way too expensive..I've done about 18 credits in total at other schools (7 at a CC during summer of freshman year and the rest at a 4 year college) which is like a full credit semester and i received an A in all those courses, my question was since my school doesn't use the grades in calculation of my CGPA but only transfers the credits, will the DO school use my grades from the other classes in calculation of my cgpa at their school (or on AAMCOS) or will they only look at my gpa for my main school.. its a stupid question i know please help me out because i ve been getting mixed responses from ppl.
