The programs listed on PTCAS each have their own individual requirements. Some require a certain course while others do not. So, my question is does PTCAS calculate just one general GPA and then the schools calculate the GPA for their "required classes"? Thanks 👍
 
I think if the school has extra pre-reqs, they will calculate their own gpa with that class taken into account.

Yeah, that's what I figured but wasn't 100% sure. I see some schools require calculus in addition to statistics while others just require statistics so it kinda throws me for a loop. I've taken all these classes, but just wondering what my pre-req GPA would end up looking like. Thanks for the advice!
