Why is the GPA calculated by the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PTCAS) different from the one on my university transcript? Which GPA will DMU use?
Oftentimes, the difference in GPAs between what PTCAS calculates and what appears on a university transcript has to do with re-taken courses. If a student re-takes a course for a better grade, many universities will only count the higher grade in its GPA calculation. PTCAS, however, counts both the original grade and the re-taken grade when it calculates a GPA. DMU only uses the GPAs provided by PTCAS. More information on PTCAS grade calculations.
