To calculate a grade-point-average (GPA), PharmCAS determines your total number of quality points by multiplying semester hours attempted by the value of the verified PharmCAS grade. Quarter hours and units are converted to semester hours (quarter hours are multiplied by .667).
A public service announcement (PSA) or public service ad, are messages in the public interest disseminated by the media without charge, with the objective of raising awareness, changing public attitudes and behavior towards a social issue.
Most non-timely public service announcements are typically written to educate the public, as well as incite the listener to become involved by either volunteering or donating money. A vital difference between an announcement for a commercial product and an announcement for a community message is in their language. While commercials may use artificial language and situations, public service announcements use everyday language.
