loodogg Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 If you had taken more than the 5 courses/semester required to have a full course load at Dalhousie, would you only list your top 10 courses/year or all courses you have taken that year regardless of having more credits than needed?

Nasket Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 You list all of them for each year. It's unfortunately not like Western, where you get to drop courses taken on top of the 10 courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really sucks, the 11th course I took in one of my last 2 years caused my GPA to drop from a 4 to a 3.9....I know a 3.9 is nothing to complain about but when you're fighting for an OOP spot that's a huge drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipez Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 You have to think they calculate GPA to 2 decimal places though, right? Otherwise you wouldn't really get much separation between applicants, considering how many hundreds of OOP apply. I mean, I'm OOP and I have a OMSAS 3.948 haha which comes up as a 3.9. Does anyone know for sure how they rate GPA's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know for sure how they rate GPA's? I am almost certain it is just to one decimal point but not 100% sure. When I entered all my grades on my transcript assessment it gave me a GPA to one decimal point, and their website says they calculate GPA to the nearest single decimal point too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
