Not true, 8404,
AMCAS figures all classes into the GPA. If you retake a class, both are figured in the AMCAS. However, AACOMAS looks at the newest grade if you retake it due to a low grade(i.e.--made a D or F) only the retake is figured into the AACOMAS GPA. Both times appear on the academic record, but only the newer grade is calculated. Trust me, I made a D in Freshman Botany, but only the retake appears on my AACOMAS profile.
To answer carmstrong's original question, it depends on if you're applying AMCAS or AACOMAS. AMCAS science GPA is BCPM (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math). ALL classes which fall in these categories are included in sci. GPA. The AACOMAS science GPA doesn't include Math. AACOMAS sci. GPA is BIOTSP, which stands for Biology, Inorganic Chem, Organic Chem, Biochem (T), Other Science (S), and Physics. Once again, all classes in these categories count, with the exception of retakes.
Hope this helps.
