Do med schools care at all about grades from graduate school (MPH type programs)? I know that they aren't factored into the GPA or anything, but do they play any part in admissions decisions?
 
From what I understand, your UG grades are emphasized, but if it's been a while since you were an UG (or if you're a nontrad) adcoms will look at your grad grades as well. How much they factor in probably depends on the school. But, they will have copies of all transcripts.
 
Im currently doing an MPH and have been on several interviews. So far my grades have NEVER come up on interviews with respect to grad school.
 
And they also show up on your AMCAS application as a separate calculation after UG GPA.
