Thread: science gpa vs. overall gpa-which is weighed more heavily?

My undergrad degree was in Business, (no science classes) and my cumulative gpa was VERY low, 2.0. I worked full-time while earning my B.S. I also started a Masters in computer science 3 years ago, and didn't continue, and had mostly A's and B's. I am taking my post-bac science classes now, all the basics plus Anatomy, Physiology, Infectious Disease, and Brain Behavior. My gpa in these sciences is 3.6. So, which gpa does Ross weigh more heavily, my lousy cumulative 2.0, or my 3.6 science gpa? Do you think I stand any chance of being offered Medprep ?

With your science GPA of 3.6, you have a good chance of gaining acceptance at RUSM despite your lower, non-science grades. Good luck!

I would assume that they would consider the pre-med courses most of all. They include General Bio, General Chem, O-Chem 1 and O-Chem 2, Phyics 1 and Physics 2, etc. Your great GPA in recent course will look great, but cannot be considered with ignorance towards your more generalized low GPA. The only way to know is to submit your application and see.
