How does CASPA calculate pre-req GPA?

Post by marsle85 » Thu Jul 03, 2014 3:06 pm

I know that some programs require different sets of requirements for GPAs, one of them being "pre-req GPA". Considering each school differs on what they consider a pre-req, and many of the pre-reqs are subject to CASPA's grading policy, how do they pick which grades to use in your calculation?

Example:

One of the schools I am looking into requires an elective psychology class. There are plenty of classes where I have received an A-- but there is one that I've received a B. How do the schools/CASPA decide which grade to use? I'm obviously hoping they use the highest grade....


TIA,

That would be a question for the program in question. CASPA GPAs are not calculated with courses that "could be one or could be the other." They are very specific about which course counts for which GPA.
