Here was my original thread:
So I just got my AMCAS application verified and they calculated my GPA to be a lot higher than I had anticipated. When calculating my GPA, they seem to have left out two classes that I received F's in during my freshman year. The spaces where the semester hours and AMCAS grade should be are left blank. My OT grade for both classes is an E (which my university uses instead of an F). I repeated both of these courses later on in college.
I had calculated my GPA to be 3.23 (both bcpm and cumulative), but AMCAS says it's 3.37 bcpm and 3.32 overall.
Has this happened to anyone else??? Aren't they supposed to factor in failing grades? I feel really bad about it. Part of me wants to just pretend like I don't know it's wrong and just take the better GPA, but I think the guilt would kill me! (http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=214636 )
To update, I had AMCAS re-verify the courses in question and they counted them correctly this time. So I now have a 3.24. Either I'm really stupid or really honest (or maybe both)! So... AMCAS does make mistakes!
Thanks to everyone who responded to my original thread on this subject, and good luck to everyone with their applications!
