inquirer007 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just a quick GPA question: If you have more than a full course load, do med schools only count the 5 courses a term, or do they consider all courses? In my case, I go to UWaterloo ( first year rookie ), and the way it works here is that courses are 0.5 credits, and labs are 0.25 credits. A full course load would be 5 courses so 2.5 credits a term, but I have 3 credits a term due to having 2 labs this term. So would the med schools use only the 5 courses in the calculations, or also include labs. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 They would use everything. except Western - it would only take your best 5.0 credits per year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamergirl Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hello everyone, From my understanding NOSM adds extra points to gPa for graduate courses. Is it then possible to have over a 4.0 gpa if my gpa is already 3.85? Or am I misunderstanding something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way of course you end up with an awesome gpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
