GPA on Secondary

Does anyone know...
...should we put the AACOMAS calculated gpa on our secondary applications or our own calculations including BPCM?

I feel weird putting a different gpa but I think it is more accurate. I suppose I could just have a new transcript sent to AACOMAS and see if the update for my summer class brings it up to my calculations. Still do you include math in the science or is it the same as AACOMAS?

I'm hoping to have it in the mail tomorrow but I'm just not sure what to put on this one spot!

Math isn't in the sci. gpa for aacomas like it is for amcas. I waited until my primary was processed so I could put my aacomas gpa on the secondary; I was worried I would screw something up trying to calculate my own gpa. My transcript was confusing, though -- lots of repeats and 4 different schools. I'm assuming you don't have your primary processed. You could just wait until you have your aacomas gpa, and then send the secondary, since the schools can't really do anything w/out the primary anyway. Otherwise, if you are pretty sure about your gpa, you could go ahead and send it now, and you could call the school if there does happen to be a weird discrepency. Are you applying to OSUCOM? That was the only school I applied to that wanted gpa on the secondary. I wonder why, since they have it right there on the primary 😕

Yep that's the one. I have the primary but I'm sending a new transcript tomorrow that has my summer score on there. I wanted to be able to show my A in physics since I hadn't had it before and didn't do very well on the MCAT in that section. It will bring my score up to a BPMC 3.64 if you use the way AACOMAS calculates but add in math and the new score. With only BPC it will be a 3.54. Either way my other will be a 3.399 and it has 3.38. I went ahead and sent it off with the updated scores and included the math score because I thought that would be the only reason you would list it again. I'll probably end up looking the fool. Oh well, it's already in the mail. In hindsight I think I should have just kept it the same as the primary.
