Yes, I made an account to ask this question. In the stats section it asks you to list your undergrad gpa. However, many of us have gone to master's programs, so people will say "gpa is grad" in the notes section to indicate that, when you hover over the red diamond and stats appear, the gpa is referring to their MA program gpa and not their undergraduate gpa.

Yes, I made an account to ask this question. The results system only gives you the option to enter your undergraduate GPA. So those applicants who have an MA often put in their graduate school GPA and make the distinction that the GPA listed in their stats is their grad and not undergrad GPA.

bravesball Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Not sure if undergrads that have taken graduate level classes do something like that. I wouldn't think so though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that your signature says you're presuming a rejection from WUSTL PNP. As far as I know, the PNP accepts/rejects tend to come out later than the general admits, which just now came out. I don't think you should presume a rejection just yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't I go to all of them? (I realize i'm probably not making many friends by complaining about having to choose between my favorite programs ) I admit I am very very jealous. I would have loved to apply to Oregon--my interests and writing sample are very much in line with Mark Johnson's work--but that is the one program my wife put her foot down on. I can't blame her, as gorgeous as Eugene is there isn't much economic opportunity there outside of the university. Although she works in higher ed admin, she knows a few people who have worked there and said that jobs at the university are hard to come by and don't pay well (even accounting for the lower cost of living in Eugene). lisamadura 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
