How does UMKC evaluate repeated courses?
While it is never the student’s intention to receive a poor grade in a course, it is often necessary to repeat that course. UMKC will remove the original course from the transcript and replace it with the most recent grade received. Many times this will significantly boost a student’s GPA. Strive to take as few repeated courses as necessary. Keep in mind that AADSAS averages both grades. This is not how UMKC calculates repeats. Therefore, the AADSAS science GPA and the UMKC science GPA may not be equivalent. Not all dental schools will calculate the science GPA in the same manner as UMKC. This is a question for each dental school.
