pipedown Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Help! I can't get a clear answer from CASPA on assigning classes and grades to schools "Prerequisites" tab. For example, a school requests a math class, minimum credits 3, minimum grades 2. I'm not sure how to answer that as a 3 credit math class only has 1 grade assigned to it. Help! I would be devastated if my application was rejected by a school because of a clerical error. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanime Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I could be wrong, but I thought that the minimum grade of 2 meant 2.0 (as in C), not number of grades required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG92 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I could be wrong, but I thought that the minimum grade of 2 meant 2.0 (as in C), not number of grades required. This is how I interpreted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cop to pa Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's right. A grade of 2 is a 'C'. The objective is to make it easier for the adcom to pick the class that you think best fits the prereq so they don't have to spend as much time doing it.

ddisilvestro Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 This is correct, the minimum grade of 2 equates to a C (A-4, B-3, C-2, D-1). You need to fulfill these listed prerequisites to the best of your ability. It in no way guarantees, either way, that you meet or do not meet a program's prerequisites. They ultimately determine this during their review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lannyoswalt Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) This would be much more clear if they simply added a .0 to that 2. Although it does say "Minimum grades" with an 's'. So still question whether that is a grade point number. Minimum grades: C? Not really grammatically correct. Minimum grade: C (2) would make much more sense.

AspiringOHPA Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have a question similar to this. If a school requires one general biology or one general chemistry course, is there a specific general chemistry we should choose? For example, I have taken general chemistry I and II, but I did significantly better in general chemistry II. Should I choose both of these courses, the first one I took, or the one I did the best in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuchiKopi Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'd pick the one you did better in. They will still see the other grade either way. I feel like it's more just a box to check that you clearly made all the requirements. So then they are not getting a bunch of useless applications. If they do calculate a pre req GPA off that then there ya go. It's weird the school only needs 1 semester of each. Just make sure it doesn't say 1 year of the classes and/or 8cr hours. If it doesn't then that's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
