Do dental schools consider BCP or BCPM more important? When each school has a minimum science GPA, are they asking for BCP or BCPM?

BCP is more important.
Here is the link for the courses that are considered BCP:

Thank you!! That's what I was hoping to here. So the other sciences count towards the BCP too? The only thing that doesn't count is the Math?

Texas schools: BCPM
Everyone else: BCP

Refers to overall Science GPA. However, it's best to contact the schools you're looking at for specifics.

No.

BCP = Courses taught within the Bio, Chem, and Physics department. That's it.
Science GPA = "the other sciences." This includes the BCP ones. Math falls into this category as well.

What about Energy? I think it falls into other science but I just want to make sure.

Just use your best judgement. If you think it belongs in BCP as a component of physics, then put it there. However, whoever reviews your application may shift it back to other sciences. And vice versa...
