About GPA

[aditisojitra]

Hello,

 

I was just curious to know whether the UMDNJ considers an overall GPA or only the GPA of your major courses. I need your help to know this.

hello,

 

I have the same question! My overall gpa sucks but my pre-req gpa is good. I just want to know if UMDNJ looks at the overall gpa or pre req gpa. Thanks!

Both, overall GPA and pre-req GPA.

Is the pre-req gpa the same as science gpa or different?

[lelabg]

Pre-req GPA is different than science GPA. Pre-req GPA is GPA for all the pre-req course for UMDNJ PA program:
