PreReq GPA

[DPT25]

Hi, my PTCAS application is currently being processed but I was wondering about the calculating of the prerequisite gpa for schools.

I marked down a general statistics class to fulfill my statistics requirement when filling out the PTCAS application but didn't realize that many of the schools will accept a statistics course in the psychology discipline. I got an A in stats class within the psych discipline and was wondering if PTCAS or schools will see that and use the higher grade when calculating my prereq GPA? I just want to have the highest prereq GPA as possible

Hi,
It's up to the school to determine which they will take. PTCAS will calculate what you submit as a prerequisite course, however, the school will also see all courses reported. Under normal circumstances, I don't think that 1 course will make that big of a difference.
