I have a couple questions regarding GPA's.

Is the cumulative G.P.A your current GPA at the current school, or the average of all grades from all schools?

So if I get a degree at a University and then go on to a community college to complete some pre-reqs, which GPA would count as my cumulative?

Cummulative GPA is every class you've taken at every school you've been to for undergraduate coursework combined to generate one number. Same for graduate coursework to get a cummulative grad GPA. The other two GPAs are BCP GPA(bio, chem, and physics) which considers only the bio, chem, and physics courses your taken at every school you've been to for undergraduate coursework combined to generate one number. Other science considers all of the science (comp sci, math, engineering) courses at every school you've been to for undergraduate coursework combined to generate one number - however, other science GPA excludes bio, chem, and physics.

So you have cummulative, bcp, and other science gpas.

If you are a future optometrist, you might want to ask if the optometry process is the same as dental. This is the pre-dental forum.
