I just realized that how much your school gives as semester hours for each class can impact caculating your gpa. i've taken classes at three top schools and they have all give one regular class as 4 semester hours, and a class with a lab is 5. but at my state school where i'm taking classes now, one upper level bio class is 3 semester hours and with lab it's 4! crazy.

it's also great to realize that you have a much higher gpa than you thought according to amcas calculations 🙂

i want to cry. i'll never ever get into med school 🙁
