Hi, Does anyone know of the policy of podiatry schools recording an administrative withdrawal towards the cumulative GPA like a WY or WA. Do they count it as a regular W or would it count as an F. I know AAMCAS counts these as Fs but I wasn't sure about pod school. anyone know?

Sounds more appropriate to address this question towards the administration of the schools you're interested in instead of an internet forum where information like this must be taken with a grain of salt

the AACPMS website says "In addition, any course in which a grade of withdrawal, pass/no-pass, audit, incomplete, exempted or not yet enrolled is indicated, will not be included in the GPAs." https://portal.aacpmas.org/applicants2011/faq/faq_gpas.html

I have plenty (>6)W on my transcript and it did not affect my GPA. I know that if you wait to late to drop a class and then drop it, you will still get a failing gradeb=will lower your GPA. My school had many types of Ws (Attempted but dropped too late so you get your gradem which is a F is you do not complete the class vs attempted but dropped, this looks more like a nonattepted attempt)This stuff should be in your school book of facts. Now. if your GPA is not affected by your undergrad, it will not on the aacpmas application.

thanks everyone. I called a few schools and they do not count towards final gpa as long as the undergraduate school doesnt include it towards your gpa. In case anyone else is wondering
