Med Schools GPA calculation

[MDposer]

Hey yall, I have a quick question about how medical schools calculate your college GPA. I studied abroad with two programs during my Junior year and my grades for the two programs were not counted into my official graduating GPA within my college. I hope that med schools do count the grades from these two programs because I rocked the abroad classes, and it could provide a nice boost. Does anyone know how med schools do this calculation? Will they take only my official college GPA or include everything?
