VMCAS - Primary School?

Hey Everyone,

I'm not applying this year but I still have a question. I'm just a little confused on what qualifies as the primary school. For the VMCAS do you have to state a primary school? is there such a thing? or am I just making this up?? (I thought I saw "primary school GPA" stated somewhere on SDN, I just don't remember where…) haha.

I'm assuming it's the school from which they will calculate your GPA. Does your cGPA, pre-req GPA and last 45 GPA all have to come from the primary school? My primary school would be where I completed my undergrad, but I guess my concern is that I've taken a little less then half my pre-req's from a distance learning university. Does that matter in terms of how my GPA would be calculated?

Thanks for your help!!

A number of threads cover this. Here is a relevant one:

Those other GPAs are not calculated by you or displayed on VMCAS, only calculated by the schools themselves.
