Shannonmowill Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I received my BS from a Pass/Fail university. On the official transcript it states pass or fail by the course. Student records states that this equates to a 3.0 GPA. I contacted a PA school about applying to the program and I was told that this type of transcript will not be accepted by CASPA. However, I read on a forum that someone had a pass/fail transcript and was selected in to the program. How do a I overcome that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgriffiths Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 There are PA schools that do not use the CASPA system, but few and far between. It has been many years since I used CASPA, but I do seem to recall something like this. I also know some schools will not accept pass/fail for certain courses.

Shannonmowill Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Ok thank you! All of my prerequisites I took after I received my BS and they were from a traditional university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgriffiths Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 That may allow for a workaround, because you could get a transcript for the traditional university and upload which would be "valid" while the other would just be "supportive." Of course I can't guarantee that works, but having significant coursework at a traditional university will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
