how important is science GPA exactly? I ask because the dean of admissions of a top 50 school told me they really don't care at all about science gpa, it's all about overall. Is this true at other schools?

thanks for stating the obvious, but i'd still like to know nonetheless.

i would disagree, based on my experience so far. i dont have any interviews and i'm pretty sure its because of my low sci gpa. my overall is pretty decent. i know a girl with a significantly lower mcat score but 3.6 sci gpa who has several interviews. i too would be interested to know what school this guy was from.

Agreed especially the sci gpa.

I don't think it's that important. I got some interviews at some pretty cool schools with a 2.88 BPCM GPA. I think MCAT is more important than most people think.

man nowadays every thing about our application is important , but its true that sciece gpa weighs more than non science

I'm wondering the same thing..i just calculated my BPCM GPA and it's a 2.95 🙁... but i would think that GPA (science) is important because of the nature of med school.

Several of the schools I've interviewed at have specifically mentioned the importance of science GPA. I think MCAT and BCPM play a major factor, though having a well rounded package is a must.
