Nurse Practitioner Admission

Hi guys,

I am thinking of applying to MSN PHCNP program at McMaster. Does anyone know specifically how they calculate your GPA ?

On the McMaster website it states you take the convert the letter grade, let’s say a B+, and convert it to a 12.0 GPA scale, a B+ would be a 9. Then you take the 9 and muiltply it by the number of credits the course is worth, most courses are worth 3 credits. The total points earned for a 3 unit course that you received a B+ (9 on the 12.0 GPA scale) would be 27. 
 

Does this method for calculating the GPA sound correct ?

    Yes, that's how I've seen GPA calculations in the past. But each school is going to include different things in the GPA calculation. Some school will count all previous coursework, others will have a formula for what's included. Like only core courses and anything taken within the last five years. Every school should have it pretty clearly written out so you can be prepared.
