This must be a joke.

With a difference of four hundredths of a point and the fact that both GPAs are sub 3.95, I would consider applying Caribbean.

Are you seriously worried about a .04 GPA difference? Especially when they're both above a 3.8?

 

[Avoidthetiger]

ohhhh I would be worried
super worried.

But I would be more worried that your GPA is too high.
The average matriculating medical school student applies with a 3.66 overall and 3.60 science.
You are just TOO high. I would apply to St. George.

and I though my 3.951 sGPA vs 3.950 cGPA split was huge.

Definitely too high.
And I have a 0.2 difference between the two of mine. But they're not too high, so I'm not worried.

people post this **** up because

1. they want a pat on the back
2. they wanna psyche other people out
3. they are severely insecure about some other aspect of their application and want some reassurances.

 

[rhesuspieces]

well daaa-yum, I have a 3.8 overall and a 3.55 BCPM. I guess I'm screwed! 🙄

They will throw your application in the trash. They will then inform all of the other schools about what a terrible applicant and human being you are. Every time you apply for a job, this will hang over you and doom any chance you have of getting that career - even your fellow McDonald employees will shun your failures for fear of it contaminating them. It will then go on your credit report, show on your criminal background check, and the federal government will break in one day and tattoo it to your forehead. Your life is over, it is best to accept this and then on. Your best bet might be to change your name, move to Brazil and start your new career as a male prostitute, but be careful about your johns, because if they find out, you'll have to change cities.

I think you should be more worried about the trouble you seem to be having distinguishing between relevant and irrelevant stuff than about the 0.04 difference in your sGPA and cGPA.

This.

Caribbean. NOW.

i was only asking a simple question and didnt expect such a backlash
a simple "no it wont matter" would have been sufficient

....and i certainly did not want a "pat on the back"

what did you expect? it was a dumb question, one which could have been easily answered by some common sense or very very very basic research. just relax a bit wo/man. besides, even if it DID matter, what can you do about it now. nothing.

yeah like i'm not really trying to be a jerk, but it is somewhat common sense. had it been a lower gpa and similar question may have been difference b/c with a low gpa, you're trying to fight for every point. But with such high gpas, doesn't matter. And you have to think "hey 3.7 etc that's a great gpa" if there was a huge different maybe like .3+ difference? then perhaps that's more signficant. I use SDN if I have unusual questions or detailed questions. A better question would've been to ask "how much of a gpa difference matters"

your question is very similar to "oh snap i have a 3.99 overall gpa and 3.98 science" is this difference bad? it's like .01 are you kidding me?

May be you can do a postbaccalaureate program to raise your SGPA!

Hope it helps.
