depends on the schools, some schools look at all GPAs, some schools only look at specific.

All the science GPAs- the adcoms usually weed out people first based on their science GPA and the DAT/PAT scores before they spend the time to look at the essays/details. That's what I'd been told by my friend's father who's on the admission committee.

science gpa : includes all science classes. There are some of us who don't HAVE a science GPA besides the BCPs... doesn't AADSAS's directions explain this?

I talked to them already and they said they do not know how to calculate that or what courses are involved, since the verification office does it. I couldn't be put through to them to get an answer.

The science GPA is definitely the most important along with the DAT. If you have a high CPGA but a very low science GPA, your gonna be in trouble.

I got a very different feeling after my interviews a couple of years ago. It seemed that the schools were placing a much higher weight on my overall GPA, not on my science GPA. My overall was .3 or so higher than my science, as I recall.
