Waltz Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 If the lowest marks are dropped and you make the GPA cut off + have a 3.8x or something so far that's competitive enough (w/ marks dropped) then how much of an effect does the bad grades on your transcript have? (C's and D's). If your recalculated GPA is strong enough then doesn't the MCAT, ECs and interview become a bigger determination factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm not sure where the confusion about 'dropped marks' is coming from here. If those marks are dropped, their impact will be 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltz Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Do they look at your transcript in detail? I just want clarification on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 They'll calculate your GPA based on the courses that weren't dropped. That's about it. The failures may be used as red flags if it came down to a tie breaker, but that's about it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
