Hey everyone, long time lurker etc

I've searched these forums pretty extensively and have yet to find an answer. I've seen threads indicating that second degrees may be used to boost a sub-par GPA and I was wondering how this is calculated across the border?

In Canada, Med Schools generally only look at your most recent degree. Is this how it works (generally, presumably there are always exceptions) in the states? Or does it just count as more classes and lump it all together?

Thanks for any insight 🙂

Pretty sure it's all lumped in together with your first degree. Confirm with another poster here too! Gluck fellow Canadian!
