sGPA and cGPA Differences

[goldenscalpel]

Hi all,

I was wondering how big of an impact this will have come application time. My cGPA currently is a 3.85, while sGPA is at a 3.73 as a philosophy/biochem double major. I am heading into my senior year and hope to raise my cGPA to a 3.9 and sGPA to about a 3.79/3.8. When applying next year, will the lower sGPA have that significant of an impact at all, and how would the current 3.73 stand if I had already applied with it?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

No they are both above the average, sGPA are typically a little lower

Take two of these, please. At most med schools, the median sGPA is 0,1 points lower, thanks for Orgo.

As is, your cGPA of 3.85 and sGPA of 3.73 are solid. You'll be fine even if you apply with a 3.73 sGPA. As the others have stated, it's not uncommon for the sGPA to be lower than the cGPA.
