Does Western care about your GPA outside of your 2 best years?

I know their site says they only look at best 2 years, but if your other 2 years were much lower than your best 2 years, do they look at it negatively?

Honestly u gotta look at it like this. 500-600 applications. most ppl have 1-2 bad yrs in undergrad so ur not alone at all lol. TBH if i were calculating the GPA i would just look at the 2 highest calculate it and get it done. I highly doubt they look at each course and each yr in that much depth.

Nope. Best 2 years means best 2 years

The GPA calculations are just cut offs. Not really that important. People get rejected with 95% for two years but people get in with 85%. There's other factors that are much more important (i.e. personal statement and interview) but are very subjective.

There is a certain weighting to each category. Eg: grades, interview score, personal statement, DAT etc. but AFAIR/K, its top 2 years taken into that calculation.
