PAonmyway Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have submitted my CASPA application and applied to 15 schools. I did poorly in my science courses during my undergrad but since graduating 2 yrs ago I retook all the science prereqs (All As and few Bs) and have taken additional courses plus gained extensive patient care hours as CNA and volunteer work. However, because of the way CASPA calculates the GPAs, my calculated science GPA is low (2.7) but my overall GPA improved from 2.8 to a 3.1. I feel like my science GPA will disqualify me from meeting any school requirements. Should I be worried that schools are totally going to ignore my application because of my low science GPA? Are there schools out there that will not mind the low sGPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z PA-C Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You may want to consider applying to programs that recalculate your GPA based off of repeated courses. Not all of them go solely based off of CASPA. Many schools will recalculate your GPA with the new higher grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
