Hi there, would be really grateful if someone could answer my question, I have been asking around but so far am getting inconsistent answers - I have a really low GPA - 4.5 but would really like to get into Pharmacy at Sydney Uni which requires a 5.5, Is there anyway I can increase my GPA? Can I do some extra subjects such as the ones listed as pre-requisite for Pharmacy, or would I need to complete an entirely new degree? what if I did a short masters coursework that takes about 1-1.5 years to complete?..I graduated a while ago - 5yrs ago, so regrettably I did put minimum effort into my science degree

Im pretty sure if you do a masters then the GPA will only be calculated from that

Some unis will count the GPA2/3 year as the masters, some don't count it at all.

Check the admissions guide to check.

Thanks for your responses..I ended up calling sydney uni instead and was told that they would not consider masters and that I would have to do another undergrad..pretty strange
