AMCAS GPA vs university GPA?

[SleepingPillow]

Hello,

So, annoyingly, my uni GPA will be a 3.69 after I graduate this semester (assuming all A's). I really don't want to take another class just to bump it to 3.7 (I'm devoting more time to volunteer/work).

However, I took 2 CC math classes over one summer in HS and got A's in both, and if that's factored in I would have a pretty 3.7. These weren't even college-level classes, they were just algebra 3 and trig.

Do med schools look at just total/AMCAS GPA when they sort applicants? Or do they favor university over CC GPAs?

Thanks! This might be a silly thing to worry over but ya know... Can't help it

They don't even see university or CC GPAs as I understand. They only see the AMCAS GPA grid when it comes to "numbers." They still have access to your transcripts I'm pretty sure, but they work with AMCAS GPAs.

They only see official transcripts after you have been accepted.

Are they given a list of coursework then? Or is it just the grid they see?

A 3.69=3.7... don’t lose any sleep over it
