rial2 Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I overloaded in my fourth year to take 11 half-courses (0.5 credit) instead of the normal 10. 3.0 credits of my total 5.5 credits were upper year. Is this okay, or will my fourth year be ignored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoraAde Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 I strongly suspect that as long as you have 6/10 half courses (3.0 credits out of 5.0) that are upper year, anything extra can be whatever, as anything beyond 5.0 credits is kind of "ignored"; they will simply calculate the GPA for that year using the highest 5.0 credits and including your upper year credits. I am about 90% sure of this, but it never hurts to contact the admission office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu95 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 As above, I'd recommend asking admissions directly, but it was my understanding that the 3/5 rule is meant to ensure that you are taking an appropriate course load while achieving that GPA, rather than taking only easier courses that are below the level of difficulty which should be aimed for in a certain year. The 3/5 here simply means that a minimum of 3 courses in your full-load year must be at or above the target level, which your situation would satisfy.
