speechpathhopeful Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Has anyone had the experience of their CSDCAS GPA being significantly lower than the GPA on transcripts? Do schools that use CSDCAS look at the original transcripts at all? I failed some non-college level math courses years ago and CSDCAS is counting them in my GPA calculations. I am worried that schools will throw out my applications without looking at them beyond this GPA.
mlake216 Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 A lot of the schools will look at your last 60 credit hours to calculate your GPA. I ended up having to take three summer courses and postponing my graduation date to get rid of classes from 14 years ago that pulled my GPA down using this criteria. I am reapplying this year to grad school, but I'm still seeing my GPA being calculated will all college credits (from 16 years ago to now). I ended up touching bases with admissions at the programs I applied with and double checked on their policy when calculating GPA, especially from CSDCAS. Hope that helps
speechpathhopeful Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for the info mlake216! I haven't been brave enough to speak to any schools about this so I'm glad to hear from someone who has.
speechpathhopeful Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 I did end up getting into 1 program just so everyone knows it is possible!

Jackiee.san Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Congrats!! This gives me hope haha but, per above, do you mind sharing your stats or experience? ?
justwaitin:) Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I'm nervous about this too. I graduated with my bachelor's from Arizona State with a 4.0, I finished my CSD prerequisites as a post-bacc with a 3.98, but my community college years are haunting me now (10+ years ago – back when I failed a PE class and got D's/retook math classes several times). CSDCAS shows my overall GPA as 3.51 now and I'm very upset. GSLP21 1

I don't know much about the other schools though.
