Health Professions Advising at Mason

Reports and Data

Grade Point Averages of Matriculants

Admissions officers have emphasized they look beyond just grades and test scores. This section summarizes their general advice to help you evaluate your readiness for a graduate education in the health professions.

A health professional's education is one of the most personally challenging and rewarding experiences. Health professionals must have a solid foundation in scientific knowledge and assimilate new concepts and unknown observations quickly. A solid GPA and test scores provide admissions committees a means to measure your preparation and your capability to handle the fast-paced and ever-changing health care field. Furthermore, test scores are usually used as a primary filter in awarding scholarships.

The application services have their ways to standardize the calculation of a GPA. Do your own calculation (AMCAS and AADSAS FAQ).
