MDMPH Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Just curious if anyone has had success getting into Queens with a very poor cumulative GPA (around 2.9/3.0) but high 2-year (3.8-3.9)? If your 2-year satisfies the cutoffs do they not even look at your cumulative history? I guess I am wondering how much your holistic academic history matters or if they just need 2 years of solid grades. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 yup that happens - I know a number of people that went that route. They take the best of last two years or cumulative and just go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020medvision Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm not accepted yet but I interviewed at Queens with a very low cumulative gpa and high 2 year gpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenStan Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Had something like a 3.3X CGPA and 3.9X 2YGPA and was accepted. They definitely do look at your 2YGPA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauren666 Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Hey guys, I got a dumb question, but here goes! When calculating the 2yr GPA, are they taking an average of the 2 years or is each of the 2 years calculated and considered separately?

Average of the two most recent full-time years (at least 3 courses/semester). TheHopefulMD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodlesofnoodles Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Hi! I am wondering what the requirements are to have your last 2 years considered, rather than your cumulative GPA? I know that the website says 3 courses a semester is considered "full time" even though it's not a full course load, so if you only took 3 courses a semester for your last 2 years would they take that GPA rather than cumulative GPA? Sorry... I'm sure this has been answered elsewhere but couldn't find a definitive answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiphoid Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 On 6/3/2019 at 1:50 PM, APP2019 said: I also think that they calculate both 2 yr and cumulative for every applicant, but I'm not sure how they decide which to use for a given application. To clarify, they take the higher of the two calculated GPAs. The lower GPA is dropped and won't negatively affect your application. helicase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
