or is it just science GPA and overall GPA? cause right now, I have a pretty good science GPA and overall GPA (3.9 and 3.6 respectively), but my non-science GPA is 3.2.

and on the AMCAS, they list all three gpa with non-science having the highest avg GPA (~3.7).

So I'm wondering if med school put a lot of weight on non-science GPA or is it just science and overall GPA?

I'm sure they look at everything on your application at some point. But I wouldn't worry if I were you. Your fine.

absolutely not. why would the want to look at your non-science GPA?

it doesnt make sense. someone out the with a 1.0 overall GPA and a 4.0 science GPA shouldn't be in a disadvantage position. its just not right.

When schools get your AMCAS application, they see the GPA breakdown in 3 ways:

Overall
BCPM
AO (All Others)

So yes, they look at your non-science GPA.
 
Yeah, grades are important.
