Master's GPA Boost Deadline

[DreamingtobeMD]

I was wondering if there is a deadline for when a Master's degree must be completed by in order to receive the .2 GPA boost? I expect to be done around May 2021, so would that qualify to count for the boost on the 2021 application cycle? Thanks in advance!

Hi there! 

I'm not sure if things have changed since I applied but I believe at that time you had to have your degree conferred to you by December 31st of the application year. So if you're applying this upcoming cycle, you would have to have it conferred by December of this year in order for the 0.2 to be applied. This may have changed, so I would check the website and/or email NOSM admissions, but that was my understanding.

Best of luck!
