AAMCAS screwed up and thought my post-bacc work is actually graduate work.
I think the problem is that the school where I took the post-bacc work puts people already with degrees into their non-degree graduate program which I think sounds to the AAMCAS verifer like a graduate level program. Considering the classes I took were all undergraduate, I don't know why they didn't think a bit before classifying it as such.
The problem is, I was trying to raise my undergraduate science GPA. My graduate has no science GPA so now that nice science GPA gets to sit all by itself. But my undergraduate science GPA looks crappy. The only consolation I have is that my undergraduate GPA was acquired five years ago, whereas my recent science GPA I got this last semester.
What complicates this problem is that I already have graduate work done (a few years ago) and the GPA for that overall is pretty low, so when combined with this post-bacc GPA, my overall GPA for graduate still looks crappy.
I'm not sure if I should fight this or not. I've heard a lot of med schools look just at undergrad science GPA, or put more stress on it than graduate science GPA. And I want to put that good science GPA that I'd acquired at the spot where I'll get maximum benefit. Should I fight this placement in the graduate section? Or should I just let it go? I don't want people to confuse my recent science GPA with any of my past (pretty lousy) graduate work, but as a result of this recent misplacement of post-bacc, my graduate science GPA looks very nice. Ugh. I hate AAMCAS.
