Hi all,

When schools are looking at my gpas in my application, is it broken down into cumulative, science, and all other? If so, should I average those three together to use the application assistant as well as the applicant rating system?

Thanks for the help!

They look at your cumulative GPA, your Science (BCPM) GPA, and non-science GPA.
 
Schools will see your BCPM (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math) GPA, All Other GPA, and Total (Cumulative) GPA for each year, as well as the overall GPA for each category.
 
Ah okay. So when I'm using some of the resources on here like the application assistant and wedge dawg's applicant rating system, should I use that overall gpa which i assume is an average of all of three gpas? Or should I use the just the cumulative gpa?
 
To clarify, any college classes that you have earned grades and credit will show up associated with the academic status you have at the time of earning the credit

Therefore an dual enrollment college classes you took during high school will show up as earned during high school
AP classes, while taken in HS arent assigned credit until you get to college, so they show up on freshman year
Will we have to report he AP scores?

Thanks!
