Always striving to provide excellent service to our clients

* 2 GPA's for the price of 1

When we calculate grade point averages for international students we include all grades received by the student.  For example, if a student received a grade of F in Chemistry and then repeated this course with a grade of C, we count both grades for the GPA. However, in order to accommodate the need of some of our college and university clients, effective July 1st we are going to include a second grade point average (at no additional cost to applicants), which will be calculated with only the best grade received in each subject. In the example stated above, we would only count the grade of C in Chemistry towards the GPA.
