Hello,<\/p>\n

I was reading one of the articles on aska and I saw that you replied to one question saying that most graduate schools look at the final two years of study. Does this partially hold true for the schools that look at all 4 years? Meaning that they look at all 4 but focus on the last 2? And in particular, I’m talking about med school.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

Hey~<\/p>\n

If you’ve checked out the articles on aska, you’ll also notice that when it comes to grad school questions<\/a>, I tend to add the super important tidbit of “it depends on the grad school.” Or med school. Or law school. Or whatever school.<\/p>\n

I’m not trying to be evasive… just the problem is that what you ask is a super general question that can only end up with a super general answer.<\/p>\n

Basically, I bestow upon you the advice that you must look at the requirements of whatever school you’re interested in. I’d assume that since schools tend to call for transcripts, all your grades are examined, but I know that some focus mostly on the last two. Some don’t. Again, it depends on the school.<\/p>\n

Or med school.<\/p>\n

Whichever.<\/p>\n

I highly doubt there’s any rule that holds true for all graduate programs — aside from the “finish your damn bachelor’s degree” rule, that is. They’re all pretty damn similar, but again, look at the requirements for the one(s) you want.<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
