If a student completes a baccalaureate degree, and later returns to school to complete prerequisites for physical therapy does the GPA from the bachelors degree count toward the overall GPA?
Yes, the transcript leading to the baccalaureate degree is counted in the overall GPA since the degree itself is a prerequisite. However, if the student has attended several schools and there is a transcript that contains grades that are not strong and are not needed for the undergraduate degree credits or for the preqrequisites, it will not be factored into to the overall GPA.
