How do med schools look at undergrad and grad grades. Obviously my grad grades are lower, but it was more difficult. I believe they dont make a distinction, they just add them up?
No, AMCAS never merges them, though both are shown separately, one above the other. AACOMAS, however, does.I thought that AMCAS showed both undergrad, grad and merged GPAs? TMDSAS and AACOMAS do.

Grad school GPAs, BTW, are more likely to be regarded if the degree was in a hard science.

Honestly, grad school grades can't really help you much. It's nice if you did well in them, but it won't make up for under par undergrad performance. The slightly nasty thing is that they CAN hurt you, if you do less well than around a 3.5, since most people do really well in grad programs.
