* The core science prerequisite GPA is a program-specific GPA calculated using all core science prerequisite courses (chemistry, human anatomy, human physiology, and microbiology) completed within the past 7 years (2019 to present). This GPA is separate from the overall science GPA.

CASPA does not update the Overall or BCP GPAs after application submission; however, the core science prerequisite GPA may be updated with additional coursework if official transcripts are received by CASPA by the application deadline.

V. Healthcare Experience

A total of 1,000 paid hours of healthcare experience is required at the time of application submission. Updates to experiences will not be accepted after submission.
