shawba08 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I am applying to Pacific for a 2013 start, my cumulative is around a 2.8 but the last 45 semester hours is a 3.6 and science gpa is a 3.7. Does anyone know if Pacific will look at my cumulative and take that into consideration or do they only consider the last 45 semester and science gpa? I do EKGs, stress testing and interpreting holter reports for the past 3 years, is there a way to know how competitive my application is right now? I know i can do more volunteer work but as far as Pacific university goes there isnt much I can retake to bring my gpa higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flawlessaz Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Your GPAs and work experience will suffice for Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawba08 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thank you for your feedback...to be clear does Pacific go by your Caspa science GPA or do they go by the prerequisite science grades? Its not clear on the website but on the supplemental application it seems they calculate the "science" gpa as the prerequisites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleigh Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I was wondering the same thing. I would think they would count the last 45 credits and the science credits taken within that time. But, I could be wrong. It would be easier to just look at the CASPA Science GPA. I calculated my gpa today and I'm in, more or less, the same gpa situation as you. I have about a lot of college credits, and they'll be more as I complete my prerequisites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted January 28, 2012 Administrator Share Posted January 28, 2012 Pacific gets your CASPA stuff. They also require you to compute your own science prerequisite and last 45 GPA for your application. As such, there are a lot of folks in the program with less than stellar starts, but great recent performance. My overall undergraduate GPA is 3.3/3.7 science, but my last 45 were 3.93/3.97 or so. My science GPA when I started my prerequisites was 3.0--10 semester hours of B's--and I took enough science classes such that those B's fell off of most of the prerequisite/last 45 calculations.
