Do schools have cutoffs for non-science GPA?

My cGPA (3.14) and my sGPA (3.35) should be above the cutoff for every DO school except KCU, but my non-science GPA is around. 2.5. If a school announces a cutoff at 3.0, will my non-science gpa get my app screened out?

I always saw GPA cutoffs as overall and science but I did not consider non science. I have around 200 credits but only about 40 of them are non science so it wouldn't be impossible to get it over a 3.0 even with grade replacement. My sGPA and cGPA are obviously not budging.

When the bears play, they are not bringing their best. It's sad. My dog on the other hand is THE BEST at upside down photos. Phenomenal.

No

Great. I saw someone mention non-science gpa and I remembered mine is way below 3.0. Do adcoms even care about non-science gpa? It's been 5 years since I've had a non-science class. (Unless you count math) then it's been 4 years.

Nope! Especially in your case
