Discrepancies

Because of the standardization that occurs during verification, it is not uncommon to see GPA discrepancies between what your schools calculate and what BioMedCAS calculates. Discrepancies occur because:

  • BioMedCAS does not recognize an individual school's policies for forgiveness, academic renewal, or grade replacement for repeated courses. BioMedCAS will verify based on how grades for repeated courses are reported on the official transcripts. All grades earned for repeated courses are factored into your BioMedCAS GPA.
  • BioMedCAS's numeric grade values differ from an individual school's.
  • BioMedCAS calculates all GPAs in semester hours. Courses that were completed in quarter hours are converted to semester hours. The conversion ratio is 1.0 quarter hour = 0.667 semester hours.
  • BioMedCAS breaks down your GPA by academic year, not by college or university. Coursework completed at multiple schools for similar academic years get combined. For example, if you completed freshman coursework at College ABC and freshman coursework at College XYZ, BioMedCAS uses all of that coursework to calculate the GPA for your freshman academic year.
