How exactly does AMCAS calculate BCPM GPA? Are courses like micro or bichem included? What if your average BCPM GPA is significantly higher than the overall GPA? Does this work for or against you? Just curious...

Any info wud be gr8ly appreciated!

Bio, physics, chem, and math courses are included. I've heard that BCPM being higher than overall is a good thing, though some others have different opinions. Some schools weigh more heavily on the BCPM than others. good luck!

Thanks for the link, very helpful. Quick question...how many semester hours dose say, a 4 credit course translate to (in a regular semester-system university)?
