nevertoolate1993 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi, I've been in university for 6 years now doing an engineering major (I switched majors half way through) at a Canadian university. I still have a bit of schooling left. During all 6 years I worked full-time so I was taking as little as 2 courses a semester, most semesters 3 courses, and my first year I did 5 courses each semester. I'm wondering how US DO/MD schools do GPA calculations for this? Is it just a cumulative, or do they only take the full time course load. My GPA in past years wasn't stellar, should I be salvaging my GPA by taking 3 courses a semester while working full-time still, or 4, or do I need to do a full course-load (5 courses a semester). Keep in mind if I do 3 or 4 I will be working full-time whilst studying for MCATs. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prehealth101 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just cumulative. None of that "we'll only count it if you were full time" crap for US MD/DO schools. Take however many course you feel comfortable taking that'll yield high grades. Course load is a non-factor for US MD/DO schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
