dleesee Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hey everyone, Just wondering what you think about the standing of someone in my situation. I’m hoping to apply in 2020 and at this point my cGPA is around 3.08. However my sGPA is 4.0 and pre req’s are generally around a 3.8 with only 2-3 left to go. My undergrad gpa (graduated 2007) was a 2.88 but with a degree in music I had no science/math except a “ principles of physics “ which i got an A in. I have about 1,400 hrs EMT at this point with around 1000 of research and 100 of volunteering in a hospital where I have direct contact with individual patients conversing while assessing their mental status and engaging in activities to orient them to self, time, and place. Basically Im wondering how much my improvement since returning to school (8 years after my less than stellar undergrad) can make up for the past. Note: I have yet to take the GRE Any advice greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted January 23, 2019 Administrator Share Posted January 23, 2019 Much better to have sGPA higher than cGPA, rather than the other way around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HopeToBePAC Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 A 4.0 sGPA is amazing! Can you get your cGPA up a little by 2020? Regardless, the 4.0 will stand out and will help your case a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dleesee Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 only have around 12 credits left so probably can’t bring it up very much. Am also worried that I’ve been part time (usually 2 classes at a time) since i’m married and working to pay rent. Not sure how much they weigh how heavy your class load is per semester?

Victory1322 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The fact that you're married, working full time and still taking a couple classes (and acing them as well!) shows the admissions committee that you're able to prioritize and manage your time efficiently. I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that you're taking two classes at a time as opposed to four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
