Question about taking courses post graduation

[cactus97]

Hi friends,

I have a question about how med schools would do gpa calculations with courses that are taken after graduation (from a 4 year bachelors). I wanted to take a few extra courses this summer or in the next school year (but not as a full time student) for dentistry prerequisites. I am worried if this will affect how medical schools will calculate gpa. I know that McMaster will just include all courses taken, but I'm not too sure about other schools. Will I be disqualified for any gpa adjustments such as dropping my worst year in the case of uoft? Thanks in advance!

alot of them (not all) require  it be part of a degree so u should be good but verify indiviually w/ each school u r interested in

I'm 90% sure that if you ever do any undergrad work at anything other than full course load you won't be considered for wGPA at UofT at all. Best to confirm it with them though.

I think you might be able to do "part time" course work and still retain the wGPA status. But I must warn you, u of t has a very specific definition of part time. It is not the same as non-full course load. I think u need to take less than three courses in a semester for example but double check. I think they have a website page explaning part time studies and wGPA eligibility
