Hi all,

I graduated college with a 3.3 cGPA, 3.1 sGPA. I did a masters program (basically an SMP) with a 3.96, but I'm not sure how to use this to calculate my WARS score.
If I only use my ugrad GPA, I get a 5 on the "Stats" section. How would I factor in my grad GPA?

Thanks in advance!

WARS and LizzyM scores aren't very helpful for non-traditional/alternate-route candidates. The best you can do is rank up your WARS score by a category or artificially increase the GPA you enter.

Thanks for the feedback. I see that we have somewhat similar stats. How are you spreading out your schools?

I shot for the more established DO programs and MD where my MCAT was at/above their median. You could try making an WAMC thread and get feedback from the experts here.
