How can it raise your undergrad GPA if you already rec'd your degree, and that 'chapter' has been closed so to speak?
Thank you!

OpenIntro said:I didn't know that....so even if you have graduated with an undergraduate degree, if you take classes at a post-bacc program (even if you take some of the same classes as before again) they get averaged into your GPA?
Yes, you are understanding the process correctly....Hopegirl said:But the college is not going to average then in, right? It doesn't all of a sudden improve your GPA on your transcripts does it? I assume that just the med schools will recalculate your GPA, taking into consideration your post bac courses, which hopefully then raise your GPA for their purposes. Am I understanding the process correctly?
Many thanks!

In the end, all undergrad courses that you take are all averaged..... So Post-Bac courses will not be in a different section as undergrad courses.kathy80 said:Actually, when you designate your classes on the AMCAS application, there's a spot where you have to pick whether your classes were Undergraduate or PostBaccalaureate...so it looks like they don't figure into your undergrad GPA.
Good luck!

Is there a good site to go to where I can calculate my GPA with all the A's I plan to get in postbac, to see what my new and improved GPA would be?
TIA!
