trident Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 for example I know that Doc gpa is not part of overall GPA, but does CASPA use the Science classes from the Doc program and factor those into the overall science GPA? Also if my doc gpa isnt too hot but I have a good ugrad and pre-req GPA will I stand a decent shot at admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted September 23, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 23, 2013 Pretty sure my masters was included in both. It lists an overall total and overall under grad GPA. Same with science and then breaks it down further into bio/chem/math/ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trident Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 well masters isnt doctorate, masters is grad. I was asking about Doctorate (i.e PhD, MD, PharmD, DDS, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted September 23, 2013 Administrator Share Posted September 23, 2013 Doctoral GPAs are not averaged into CASPA. As far as the science classes, I would expect the answer to be "no" based on the foregoing info, but you can always call CASPA and ask. More important than your doctoral GPA would be your 1) completion of the past program and 2) reason for switching to PA. On the upside, you've shown you can do high level graduate work. On the downside... are you a perma-student, or someone who is going to be out actually seeing patients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcreek Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 well masters isnt doctorate, masters is grad. I was asking about Doctorate (i.e PhD, MD, PharmD, DDS, etc.) To be fair, the title of your post is "do PA schools look at doctorate or masters GPA's". So you were asking about that... to which Oneal gave you a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
