Hey Guys,
I know these questions have been asked before, but here is my situation. I have a BA in Anthropology and I have taken some of the pre-med courses. I recieved a D+ in an Anthro class in my last semester due to some personal issues. It is only one class, but I know I could have done better. My job allows for tuitition remission but it is with a different university from where I recieved my degree. If I retake the class at a different school, how will my GPA be calculated? I'm also thinking about re-taking O. Chem and adding a some more upper level science classes.
So AMCAS will have transcripts from 2 different schools. Lets say someone has a D in O.Chem and then they take the class again and get an A. Clearly they will only recieve credit for one course. Most universities will replace the D with the A, but I believe AMCAS will average the two grades to make a C? Is the same true if the two classes are from 2 different schools?
What about the total GPA? If you take courses at a another university after your 1st degree, does AMCAS show 2 different GPA's? Or do they just add the credits and points from your post-bac classes to your orginal GPA to create a new GPA? Does it make any difference if the classes are in a 2nd degree program, post-bac certificate or just random non-matriculated?
Finally, do you know if there is any difference between the way allopathic and osteopathic application services calculate the GPA's?
Sorry for the lenghty post...........
