lawyergirl Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hello all, so i have a few questions about US schools calculating sgpa 1) which science courses do they consider? I'm a psych a major and i've heard they even look at psych stats as science courses too 2) do they look at all of your biology and chemistry courses or only the prerequisites when they calculate the sgpa 3) also, what's the "minimum" sgpa acceptable? because my gpa first year was around 3.3, second year it was 3.8, and in my third year now it's 4.0 i'm just really worried that my first year marks for the sci prerequisites will lower my chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
