aspiringstudent Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 If your courses are worth 0.5, how does the wGPA work? For example, say I have biology (0.5) in semester 1 and biology (0.5) in semester 2, does it remove both of them or only 1 semester? The reason I am asking is because I read on the site that they remove full credit courses so I'm really confused. Please someone answer lol.

cookacola Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 You remove your lowest total 1.0 credit. They don't have to both be biology, any two 0.5 courses or one 1.0 course are removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my courses are worth 0.5 for every year, so say If I apply after 3rd year, would I have 3 courses removed or 6? Because like if I do 3 courses removed then it only adds up to 1.5 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they can be credit equivalents you can drop 2 courses if they are worth 0.5 per year. Note as well in case you didn't know that you aren't limited to doing the 1.0 in that year, i.e. after 3 years of schooling you can drop 3.0 credits in total - and all 3.0 could be from the same year.
