Madz25 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have terrible first year marks, but my second & third are averaged to a 3.85, I've called Dal so many times but I keep getting different answers on how the calculate the GPA, one lady told me it was all four years and the next said the last two. Help! If you're applying as a 4th year student, then they'll look at your 2nd and 3rd year marks. They go through a lot of applications and trust me, they dont even look at your first year marks because they dont have the time. If you've already completed your degree at the time of application, then they will look at years 2-4 of undergrad. I basically just repeated what 'youngdad' said.

123coco Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 sorry for the redundence....but if I finished my undergrad and got 3.66,3.83 and 3.93 respectively, I would not qualify because I did not attain a 3.7 GPA in my first year? ________ Dc Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your first year mark is your lowest then it will NOT be taken into account and your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year marks will be considered. if your 2nd year GPA is the lowest then your 1st, 3rd, and 4th year marks will count. etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JewelLeigh Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 When I was working on the adcom (3 years ago), they took your most recent two years (for all applicants). However, if you were done your degree and your most recent two years were not good enough, then they would take your best 3. Examples (assuming OOP applicant needing 3.7) Person applying during their 4th year - Years 2 and 3 are used Person applying after finishing their degree with GPAs of 3.5, 3.90, 3.82 and 3.74 in years 1-4 respectively - Years 3 and 4 are used Person applying after finishing their degree with GPAs of 3.9, 3.8, 3.5 and 3.71 in years 1-4 respectively - Years 1, 2 and 4 are used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
