zerog Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 What classes count towards science gpa besides the nontraditional? Nutrition? Also, I'm minoring in recreational therapy which is in my undergrad's college of science and health, would these classes also count? I am trying to do anything and everything to raise my sGPA. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspengler Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Check out this website- https://portal.caspaonline.org/applicants2013/faq/gpas.htm There's a section "What subjects are included in my Science GPA?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerog Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah, I emailed CASPA and they helped me. I'm not sure how to delete a thread, but thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kma14 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I had the same question about my nutrition classes. The CASPA site listed: Biology/Zoology Inorganic Chemistry Biochemistry Organic Chemistry Other Science Physics Did it turn out nutrition classes are considered "other science"? If so, this is a God send for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kma14 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 And just like that, my science GPA is back from the dead...:;-D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiggler Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I withdrew from Gen Chem 2 for a "W" grade my Freshman year. CASPA counts that as a 0 just like an F in their GPA calcuations?!?!?! Please tell me that I read that wrong. Anybody have any knowledge on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_me Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You read it wrong....a WF is counted as a 0 because your school is saying essentially you failed the class.....W and WP are not counted at all I withdrew from Gen Chem 2 for a "W" grade my Freshman year. CASPA counts that as a 0 just like an F in their GPA calcuations?!?!?! Please tell me that I read that wrong. Anybody have any knowledge on this?

Bodiggler Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Just_Me thanks for the help. Do you know if a 12 credit nuclear medicine clinical application internship course counts towards science GPA? It is essentially our clinicals where we practice everything we learned the year before on real patients and a hospital. We had tests and presentations constantly. It's all science and hands on.

just_me Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Not sure....if anything maybe "other science" but that is truly up to CASPA When I calculated on my own I went with worse case scenario which was good because then I was pleasantly surprised by my CASPA calculation as opposed to disappointed Just_Me thanks for the help.

Bodiggler Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have an email out to CASPA. Would be of huge benefit if it counted. I can't imagine it not counting. I guess I will find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
