Question about calculating science gpa

Hello,

When schools look at our GPA's, I understand they see our overall and our science GPA. My question: do schools see our gpa for the raw premed requirements (calc. bio. chem. etc) as a gpa, and a second gpa including the other science courses we took (statisticts, calc 2, biochem, etc) that are not required, or do they only see the combination of ALL the science courses we've taken?

Ps. Would nervous systems and behavior be a science class. It's within the psych department, but its really stricly a neuro anatomy and phys course.


Thanks!!!

*Med schools to which we are applying obviously.*

They see a BCPM GPA that includes all courses in those categories. The complete transcript of your courses is also on the transmitted application, so they can see how you performed in individual classes.

If it's designated as a psych course, it will probably be counted by AMCAS as not BCPM. If you think it belongs there though, you can appeal it by sending a complete course description (I've heard).
