student12345 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Hello! I'm currently filling out the program material section for each school, but I'm a little lost. I would greatly appreciate your recommendations or any input! 1. One program requires additional bio courses excluding the pre-reqs and states "Biochemistry is recommended." Would you recommend inputting biochem for their pre-req section or a bio class with a higher grade? 2. Another program "recommends, but does not require" the labs for bio classes. If inputting the labs lowers my pre-req GPA, should I exclude it from the school's pre-req section? Thank you so much in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Your GPA is cut seven ways to sundown on the CASPA report reviewers see, along with all your grades themselves. When I review, I don't spend much time on the prereq average. I personally put more weight on the science average and specific grades. Not sure your decision here makes much of difference whichever way you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcyJ Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 And, in the case of the school I'm hoping to attend they score directly based on the prerequisite GPA for part of the applicant ranking system. So, if I were you I'd choose the highest grade that qualifies as the prerequisite. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
