I need to know the difference between each and what classes are used to calculate:

Pre-requisites GPA

Math and Science GPA

Cummulative GPA


Say the prereqs include either Macro or Microecon and I took both, but got a C in one and an A in the other. Which ones get calculated into the pre-req GPA?

Also, for the Behavioral Science and Humanities pre-reqs, I have A's in some and B's in others. Do they pick the A's and calculate them into the pre-req GPA? How does that work?


For the Math and Scinece GPA, do they only calculate the math and science courses that are part of the pre-reqs, such as OChem, Bio, etc. Or do they count every single math and science course, even the business math and the non-prereq scineces such as begininning bio/chem?

i have exactly the same questions but no answers yet 😕
 
Pre-requisite GPA: GPA of all of the REQUIRED pre-reqs for that specific school, this may vary by institution.

Math and Science GPA: I believe it is the GPA of ALL math and science courses you have taken.

Cumulative GPA: GPA of ALL CLASSES TAKEN (all classes taken post graduation from high school MUST be included)

Say, as you have, that you took both but Micro Econ is a pre-req at school A and Macro Econ is a pre-req at school B. School B will add Macro to your pre-req GPA calculation and school A will choose Micro Econ to include is their pre-req. GPA. The class not include (school A-Macro and school B-Micro), would be included in the cumulative GPA calculation.

Also, for the Behavioral Science and Humanities pre-reqs, I have A's in some and B's in others. Do they pick the A's and calculate them into the pre-req GPA? How does that work?
Nope, ALL of your classes are included in your cumulative GPA, there is not picking and choosing.

Okay, but what about school C that requires either micro or macro. Which course will that school add into the pre-req GPA?
