hi all
i graduated last year from JMU with a 3.0 BCPM gpa and have since enrolled as a NON-DEGREE POST-BAC. student at a local university near where i live now (GMU) and have been taking a few upper level bio courses like Immunology and Virology to boost my undergrad bcpm gpa slightly while i figure out what i want to do as far as getting a 1 year masters (smp) or something like the drexel program b3fore applying to med school.
my question is, will these classes i am now taking as a "non-degree post-bac student" (thats my official student status at GMU--whatever that means) be averaged in with my undergrad JMU gpa or will it be calculated in a separate catergory when i apply through amcas....these classes i am taking now dont count as graduate credits do they?-- i was hoping it would all be counted in 1 combined gpa
i think i will definately need to do a special masters program like Gtown if i want to go to med school-- so is it also a good idea to do what i am doing taking these classes, eventhough it will only boost my ever so slightly---my overall gpa was 3.45 and i just took the august mcat and found it extremely difficult--but who knows
anyways, any help would be much appreciated...hope it wasnt too confusing to understand
thanx!
