Hey guys and gals!

What category of GPA is weighted the most? and least?

Thanks!
 
i would have to say the science gpa is the most important.
 
depends on the schools, some schools look at all GPAs, some schools only look at specific.

All the science GPAs- the adcoms usually weed out people first based on their science GPA and the DAT/PAT scores before they spend the time to look at the essays/details. That's what I'd been told by my friend's father who's on the admission committee.
 
do u include the bcp with the science gpa, along with all the "other science gpa"?

science gpa : includes all science classes. There are some of us who don't HAVE a science GPA besides the BCPs... doesn't AADSAS's directions explain this?

I talked to them already and they said they do not know how to calculate that or what courses are involved, since the verification office does it. I couldn't be put through to them to get an answer.
 
The science GPA is definitely the most important along with the DAT. If you have a high CPGA but a very low science GPA, your gonna be in trouble.
 
Do you guys think repeated course is bad? I flunked two in my freshman year but luckily retook and got both As.

"BCP" gpa or "other sciences" gpa?
 
I got a very different feeling after my interviews a couple of years ago. It seemed that the schools were placing a much higher weight on my overall GPA, not on my science GPA. My overall was .3 or so higher than my science, as I recall.
