Bcmp Gpa?

[LikeClockWork]

When people list their creditials (i.e. 3.3/27R or 3.9/40T) is the GPA the BCMP that the AMCAS calculates or the overall undergrad? I ask because my BCMP is quite different from my overall GPA (~0.15 lower) and I wanted to see where I stood from all the other "What chances do I have" posts. And I know that med schools like to see very little differences between the two GPAs, but that's what I have and it looks like I'm stuck with it. Thanks!

Yeah typically its your overall gpa, as in the average of your BCPM and AO gpa's.

I always post my BCMP GPA when I post my stats because I thought it was more important? Anyways the overall and science gpa aren't too far off. BCMP GPA 3.7 and Overall GPA 3.66 for me.

When you just see one GPA you're looking at the cummulative unless otherwise qualified, and that's the way nature intended it to be.
