First of all I have been very impressed with the wealth of information shared on this tread. It is good to know I will be joining a core group of people who are this helpful.
My question is related to how GPA in the PTCAS is calculated, more specifically in terms of credit hours. My undergrad institution made every class a four credit class, regardless if a lab was attached or not, even though we only met three hours a week. I took some classes at my local community college and those classes w/o a lab were three credits. Does anyone know if PTCAS respects the amount of hours per institution or calculate this in their own way. I looked at the website but could not find the answer.
Also, and this is more of a comment then a question but I noticed many institutions require exercise physiology with lab (which i did not take as an undergrad) but this is not offered at my local cc. I am guessing this class will have to be taken at a four year university dang it (money).
cheers!
