AMCAS GPA Spreadsheet and Extra Years

[Syr]

I recently found the awesomeness that is the AMCAS Excel GPA calculator - I'm really fond of it already, but I ran into one problem - it only goes up to senior year.

I have two more years of undergraduate planned just to graduate (and to do my pre-reqs, because I kind of, uh, fell off the pre-med wagon for a year or so). Is there a way to put a "super-senior" year into the spreadsheet, or could I just put it into the post-bac section?

The thing is that I really like the graphs at the bottom, and I'd prefer to keep those (accurate, if possible...)

The one I found (also appears to be AMCAS) allows you to add graduate classes:

Hope this helps!

Does AMCAS round up GPAs?

For example, if my fresmhman year GPA was 2.996, will it be rounded up to a 3.0?

I just downloaded the one made by a UCSF student like last week and it's simply amazing, I love it. It also has a post-bac section.

Btw, it's not made/endorsed by AMCAS in any way, but just made by a pre-med student who wanted to help out other pre-meds with the AMCAS application process.

I'm in a somewhat unusual situation, and I'm not sure to use this spreadsheet because of it. I attended a math and science academy for my last two years of high school, which was a residential program at a nearby university. The program had its own dorm and activities, but we took full-fledged college courses and I received a transcript from the university, and my credits all transferred to my current undergrad institution. I decided to take 4 years instead of only 2, so I could double-major, do research, breathe, etc. and my pre-med advisors have assured me that since it's transfer credit, not AP credit, I shouldn't have a problem meeting pre-med requirements, but I don't really know how to account for an extra ~75 credit hours before my freshman year on the spreadsheet. Any ideas?
