This year, AMCAS calculated my sGPA at 3.52 instead of 3.53 (as it had calculated last cycle). Is this difference worth following up on? I’m only concerned because of my low gpa; if it were in the 3.7-3.8 range I wouldn’t care.

So I took a couple of college Calc classes in high school. Those transcripts have been posted on my AMCAS etc
Too bad it is counted bc my undergrad GPA is a solid 3.95-3.97.
In the GPA breakdown on AMCAS, is that high school portion listed as a part of Freshman year grades?
Or is there a separate high school column for GPA?

There is a separate high school block

Oh sweet! and how are those grades viewed generally? @Goro
Somehow I managed a D in an advanced Calc class. the only non C/D in my transcript, anywhere
Not sure what came over me to compel me to take such a course

No one will care about an isolated D from high school. You'll be fine

Questions about filling in AMCAS or AACOMAS forms are outside my knowledge base.
