Good Afternoon! I have two questions
1. We received an email earlier in July stating if we are a NC resident, we have the opportunity to apply with less than a 3.0 GPA in one category (in my case, it would be last 45 hours). However, I do not see an area on VMCAS or the supplemental application built into VMCAS where I can find the alternate GPA section. Is there another place I can find this? I addressed this in the 'Other Information' tab, but I would like to know if there is someplace else I need to look as I do not want my application thrown out because of this.
2. The physics requirement only needs 4 hours now as opposed to 8 hours. Can I put my grade for Physics II as it is better than my grade for Physics I, or does it have to be recorded as the first class in a series?
Thank you!

In response to your questions,

1. there is no alternate GPA section in the application. We will consider all North Carolina resident applicants who meet or exceed the 3.0 minimum OR have less than a 3.0 GPA in one of the categories (Cumulative, Required Course, Last 45 Hour).

2. applicants may designate either Physics I or Physics II. We recommend selecting the course with the better grade.
