Great GPA but failed summer course

Whether it counts or not depends on the policies of the schools he is applying to, not the school he attends.

 

Most med schools exclude summer courses from their GPA calculations. Mac is actually one of the few that includes them.

Yeah exactly - for almost every other school he is fine. Well better than fine as he has a 4.0 GPA :)

Hi, I have a friend who has a perfect 4.0 in both 1st and 2nd year. However, he took a summer course and did not pass. What is the impact of this on his chances? Keep in mind he goes to Mac, and the summer course was taken at Mac, which means it counts in his cGPA.

 

Thank you for any help

 

Can you explain how that happened? If it happened at all..

Which program?

justified flame war to be fair.... 4.0 in a program but can't pass a stand-alone summer course

 

I agree completely, it's totally ridiculous. Even so, there's no reason to argue about it here.

Maybe - I will say people often attempt weird and wonderful summer plans coupled with working etc - there could be a bunch of reasons for this :)
