Hi, can someone please tell me how an undergrad gpa calculation is made if you graduate and go back to school to finish up the undergrad prereqs?
If I have 161 hours and 469 quality points, that's 2.913 which is what I got 10 years ago.
If I were to go back to school and take the 8 prereq courses as a special undergrad student (non-degree/not really a postbac program) does the adcom add those 8 courses (32 hours), to my undergrad gpa? Does the 2.91 go away?
I guess I would like to know do they still look at the 2.91 undergrad gpa even if I boosted it to a 3.1 which is possible with 32 more hours at 4.0?
Does the adcom really care if you just finish up the prereq courses at any 4-year university or do they really care if it's an official postbac?
Would the adcom prefer/care if I obtained a 2nd bachelor of science degree in the process of going back to school or do they really just care about the 8 prereqs?
Oh lastly I had a 3.95 graduate gpa, but from what I hear this is treated totally seperate from the undergrad? I called one med school and they said they average the undergrad and graduate gpas together. Does that mean they would still really look at the 2.91?
Thanks!
