WAM to GPA?

[Jay.C]

Hi guys I’m studying the bachelor of paramedicine hoping to get into graduate medicine. I was under the impression that if you had an above 80 in all subjects this would translate into a 7.0 gpa for medicine when applying with GEMSAS. However at ACU they consider a HD above an 85 instead of above 80 and thus at ACU 85+ = 7.0. I am just wondering if this has any effect when applying to medicine or if all scores are standardised. Basically I am asking, if I have all scores at 80+ will my GPA be 7.0?

Hi Jay.C,

According to this document by GEMSAS on how to calculate your GPA, your GPA will be 7.0. They will use percentages to calculate your GPA.
