pGPA for PTCAS question

[Linure]

I'm a bit confused as to whether the "self-reported PT Prerequisite GPA" is the one that schools look at for your prereq GPA? Or do they look at the 'combined science and math' or science GPA on PTCAS?

I'm nervous because my science & math GPA is only a 3.16 ~ 3.2 because I did poorly in calc II and orgo. Do schools look at science GPA for admissions or do they look at the "self reported prereq GPA"?

If anyone could clear up my confusion for me, I'd be extremely grateful.

This completely depends on the schools. I had some schools that used both the pre req GPA and math/science GPA (and had minimums for both). The other thing to keep in mind is that because pre reqs vary so much, many schools have to calculate their own as you may have marked/not marked pre reqs that apply to a specific school.

Go through all the online info and PTCAS info from each school. Generally, the answers are there. If you are still unsure, call the school.
