I thought DO BCPMgpa only includes bio, chem, and physics. How come on AACOMAS it includes the "other sciences" like Geography and geology???

Do they correct the BCPMgpa after application is verified? The reason I ask is because my science GPA is about .4 less than it should be with just the above mentioned classes.
 
Yup, mathematics for example is excluded. Engineering courses, geology ( not geography unless its physical geography or something) are all science gpa for DO schools.

For a lot this is a plus, for others this is a major hit that they take. Btw they will correct your science gpa if you don't include.
