Some schools' secondaries ask for science and cumulative GPA. Do we use AMCAS's method (my AMCAS is not verified yet)? Or count any class that was given a letter grade by our undergraduated institution(s)?

This is a good question. Our undergraduate GPA may be different from AMCAS, especially if we took courses at outside institutions. Any ideas? Go with AMCAS GPA, or our home institution GPA?

I would say definitely go with the AMCAS GPA, since that is your official GPA for your application. Med schools would have no idea what your GPA at your college is.
