pittstealers47 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Assuming I am applicable for the agpa calculation, does the AGPA calculation mean the lowest 30 credits on your transcript are dropped or only the lowest credits in one particular year? Are summer courses counted in AGPA calculations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livinthelife Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 The lowest 30 credits in one particular year are dropped. I believe summer courses are counted, except for the summer before the current application cycle, ie this summer's grades will not count towards the AQ calculation (I could be wrong on this, so someone please correct me if so).

Olle Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Your lowest year is dropped regardless of the number of credits you took for that year. Everything before or after that lowest year is counted towards your AGPA. That includes summer courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambon Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Lowest year by GPA or %? For me, my lowest GPA year isn't the same as my % average year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close, but not quite. If you are eligible for AGPA, your lowest 30 credits in a single year will be dropped. Therefore, if you took more than 30 credits, only the lowest 30 will be removed and the rest will still contribute towards your AGPA. Here is a blurb directly from the UBC Admissions website. At most, 30 credits can be dropped. If more than 30 credits are presented in the worst academic year, the 30 credits with the lowest grades will be removed. 1 hour ago, Gambinoooo said: Lowest year by GPA or %? For me, my lowest GPA year isn't the same as my % average year. It will be lowest year after converting your grades to percentage, as UBC does not use GPA but rather a percentage system.

pittstealers47 Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 So say I have low grades in my first and second year that I want to drop... would that mean I could only drop courses from one year? And if I want to keep the courses I did well in, does that I drop fewer than 30 credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I want to keep the courses I did well in, does that I drop fewer than 30 credits? Nope. It's at most 30 credits dropped from exactly one year of study (your lowest). 1) The system will pick your lowest year GPA-wise, then; 2a) if you have more than 30 credits in that year it will exclude the 30 lowest credits from that year in your AGPA and keep the remainder OR 2b) if you have fewer than 30 credits in that year, it will exclude the entire year from the AGPA calculation. 3) If you have fewer than 30 credits in your lower year, you don't get to carry any "extra" credits over and drop additional courses from additional years. 4) You don't get to pick and choose which courses are kept and which are excluded.

Leyan Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 If I qualify for AGPA calculation, will they only consider the AGPA for admission? Or will they also take into account my overall GPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-interview is quite complicated as they suggest they consider everything. I take this to mean that they look at your overall average as well, including trends, course loads, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
