sub GPA

[premed_d]

Is the sub GPA your 10 last full courses? or the equivalent as well?

For example if I took 20 half yr courses would these be what was considered in the subGPA?

10 full courses = 20 half courses. Yes, the most recent 20 half courses will be considered in the subGPA.

I am a little bit confused on how to calculate sub Gpa. I will try to explain this as best as possible.

 

Right now I have17 half courses that will be included in my gpa in chronological order and for the last three courses that are included in the sub gpa the average of 6 courses in my third year will be included. To calculate average are all individual percent grades used. For example if I had these grades- 80, 75, 90, 85, 85, is the average of these grades taken, in this case 83, and is the gpa coversion of 83 which is 3.7 (university of waterloo) used for my remaining 3 courses.

 

OR

 

In calculating the Gpa for the three remaining courses are first the percent grades converted into GPA grades and then averaged. For example in using the same grades as above 80=3.7, 75=3.0, 90=4.0, 90=4.0, and 75=3.0, are all the individual GPA conversions averaged to give you a final GPA of 3.54.

Answer would be greatly appreciated to what method is used the first or second as it can make a big difference in the overall GPA.

The second one. You need to convert each grade using the orpas 4.0 gpa scale, not your overall average.

Thanks for the reply, it does make a big difference
