I'm not sure if this question has been answered in another forum...but...

I was wondering how I should calculate my gpa for pre-reqs I've taken over again. Is it averaged? Does it replace the previous grade? I know that there is a separate section for post-bac courses on the AMCAS/SMP apps, but I also heard that if these post-bacs (i.e. upper level sciences) are undergrad classes, they are calculated under that category as well.

Anyone? 😕
Thanks

For allopathy schools, it is averaged. For osteopathy school, the last grade from the class is used. The old ones are dropped. I believe that anything post-bac is kept post-bac category.
