AMCAS GPA calculation for two different degrees

Hello I have my B.S degree in biology at school A. I'm now doing associates degree at a community college... "School B" (I will finish before medical school would begin and no it doesn't require additional science classes ) Therefore the classes for my associates degree will technically be my postbac classes but would that change my undergraduate GPA? Also woud I enter the classes from my associates degree as my postbac classes since I did take it after my bachelors degree?
Any help is appreciated

Since the classes you're taking are undergraduate classes (even though you already have a degree), they will factor into your AMCAS GPA. I don't recall there being an option to select "postbac" specifically, but you will have to report the classes and submit your transcript.

There is indeed a "postbaccalaureate " option on the AMCAS application which is the correct designation for any undergraduate coursework taken after you got your bachelors degree. Your college grades and your undergrad postbac work are all included in your cumulative undergrad GPAs.
