rmorelan Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 I once saw a one percentage point increase in one course ultimately lead to acceptance. I don't want people to freak out about marks, but you see an easy way to boost your GPA you have to think long and hard before turning that down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass89 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 It's not worth it IMO. The time you spend guaranteeing that you get an A+ in that course would be much better spent studying for another MCAT, or being immersed in self-reflection in preparation for the interview. Don't forget the AGPA is only worth 15%, so really you are only boosting your score by a very small amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFlare500 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Just out of curiosity, what course is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preppy038 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Although it is a common theme among premeds, I personally don't like it when people do it... just cause, pls let's not argue But yeah i'm not sure about UofM how much it would help you. $400 seems a lottt and if your MCAT score has room to improve, it might be better saving that money to study for the MCAT and improve. One point improvement in the MCAT is probably worth greater than a 0.04 improvement in GPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
