Hi, I am from Canada and I have the following questions.

1. Let's say I have A+(4.0), A (3.9), A-(3.7), B+(3.3). What would be my CGPA? I am not sure if there is any weighting rules? What I did was simply add them and then divide them by the number of courses.

2. The application is asking me for my science GPA. Which subjects are being called science? I am a chemistry student. Does it mean the required science courses (Biology 1 full year with lab, Chemistry 1 full year with lab, Organic chemistry 1 full year with lab, and the required social sciences and humanities)? Or does it mean all the courses except social science courses? That is, does it mean Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Math and the like (natural science)?

3. I have a CGPA of 3.53 (I couldn't calculate the science GPA) and I have an MCAT score of 25K (VR: 06, PS: 09, WS: K, Biological Sciences: 10). I have been on the dean's list once and I have received three different scholarships. I have volunteered in an institute for the blind, reading for the blind for 6 months, I have volunteered in two different communities (associations) for 4 monthes each, I have applied for a patent (intellectual property) on airplanes, I have written a novel manuscript and I am ready to apply for publication. What are my chances of getting accepted in Saba, SGU, AUC and Ross in the comming academic year? Thank you for your help.

Science GPA is just that, only science courses are used to calculate it i.e. Chem, Bio, Phys, ect.
As for your likelihood of acceptance that's a tough call. There is a whole other forum talking about stats you should check out. Peace

Man admissions here is weird as hell. I had TERRIBLE matriculating stats and I'm performing just as well if not better than the people who got 30+ MCATs here.

I think a big part is your presentation and determination.
