Question about grades

So someone in another thread said that graduate level work done at an undergraduate will be caclulated into your "post-bac g.p.a" and not into graduate work.

I tried figuring this out on the AMCAS site but can't. Here is my situation. Graduated from Wake in 2004. Have been taking non-degree seeking courses in biology at an undergrad university for graduate credit. I will not be getting a degree I just took "molecular evolution" , "advanced biochem", and some other classes. Where will these go? that would be great if they are caclulated as post bacc since I was not doing them for a degree, anyone know if this is true?

No, graduate school credits, regardless of where they are done, do not count towards your GPA for allopathic schools. Period.

If you are referring to what I said, I stated that GRADUATE COURSES (not just a graduate program) will be counted for your GRADUATE GPA. Upper division UNDERGRAD courses taken while in a graduate program is counted as post-bacc. Confirmed this factoid with UCD's pre-med advisors, and their director's of admission. So take it for whatever it is.

If you are taking graduate level classes, then those will be included in your GRADUATE GPA, REGARDLESS if you are in a degree earning program or not. This is why an SMP works, even though its a special "masters" program.
