Hey all, this may be a dumb question but...

about how they calculate your gpa: if you have a low gpa as an undergrad, and good post bac grades, are DO schools going to look at these separately or cumulatively?? for example, does your undergrad gpa get factored in with any post bac work you do? are they considered 2 gpa's or one bulked overall gpa from all the work you've done until med school?
 
Your course work from different schools will all go into one GPA generated by AACOMAS. Schools will generally use this, but they will also look at your individual grades.
