Pre-requisite GPA lower than overall science

My GPA from Bio1/Bio2/Chem1&2/Phys1&2/Orgo1&2 is a 3.56, but when you factor in all of the math classes I have taken, a few of the quantitative Econ classes I have taken, and a few science electives live medical applications in physics or a few anatomy classes, my BCPM or overall science gpa is a 3.75. Will the disparity kill me?

A) No. Your GPA is broken into cumulative, BCPM, and all-others. They don't split your BCPM into pre-reqs and other science so I doubt they'll notice (at least immediately). In any case a 3.56 isn't anything to be worried about.

B) There's no point in worrying about stuff that you can't change.

C) You start too many threads. 😛

I guess I just want people to see Christina Hendricks' cleavage. Mad Men ftw.

I think when they look in-depth at your GPA when considering for interview, they look at the pre-req GPA also. I could be wrong though.

Some schools have you manually input what classes you consider your pre-reqs (in case there is some ambiguity) in your secondaries but I'm not sure I would make it a generalization.
