ex. if I got a C in Chemistry, and retook it and got an A.
Will pharmacy school look at the average grade ? or just the better grade ? Thank you

Can someone shed some light on how the GPA calculated ?
 
Hi There,

Looks like you may have posted in the wrong forum(pharmacy). However, I apologize if I am wrong. The answer in regards to GPA in pharmacy school is "It depends on the school." Which schools are you applying to? I know University of Washington, School of Pharmacy takes the higher grade.
 
There are exceptions, but I heard that most schools take the average. So if your chem course was 4 credits, then I think you'd have averaged a B for 8 credits.
 
thank you guys.
For those that posted stats here. Did you guys calculated yourself ? or from the school ?
