What is a GPA?

GPA stands for Grade Point Average, which is a weighted mean of all of your grades achieved in the final 3 years equivalent of full-time Bachelor level study. Due to 2020 disruptions in university study due to COVID-19, certain universities (shown above) decided whether or not to include grades from 2020 in the calculation of the GPA. The GPA is often a competitive requirement for applications to medical school in Australia and some parts of the United Kingdom.
