BPCM vs Overall?

My college has a lot of GE english requirements. I took them and mainly got B+s. My overall GPA is therefore 3.5 while my BPCM is near 3.75. If I apply are those B's really going to hurt me? When you look in the MSAR or other related books, are they speaking about overall or BPCM GPA in their tables of school facts? I would rather not spend money on schools where I am not competitve.

Thanks

I believe that they are talking about overall GPA in the MSAR.

It varies from school to school. I don't know how you would figure out which ones though.

There is a Stanford Med document that lists there screening criteria and they used only BCPM. (Search for any of the many similar threads out there and it will pop up in a few.)
