how do medical school look at a person with two undergraduates degrees ( they are not related to each other in anyway)? does having two undergraduates hurt a person's chances of getting into medical school or not? and what procedure will they use in calculating the GPA?
 
There's no reason it would hurt you; if anything, it will differentiate you and make you somewhat unique. They will calculate your undergrad GPA the same as anyone else and look at both your cumulative GPA (GPA from all classes combined) as well as your science (BCPM) GPA (GPA from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math courses combined, as well as a few Engineering courses).
 
Having two undergrad degrees will only hurt you if the GPA from one (or both) of them is low.
