Question about Science GPA

I was under the impression that for AACOMAS and D.O. schools, the science GPA consisted of BioChemPhysics (and no math) only. However, after looking at the AACOMAS Academic Coursework instructions, it looks like other science classes such as Engineering, Electronics are also included.

Do D.O. schools break out the BCP courses separately or is only a total "science" GPA considered?

Don't allopathic schools just use BCPM exclusively for the science GPA?

Thanks in advanced.

AACOM breaks down your scores according to GPAs in
1. fresh,soph,jr,senior years.
2. Sci GPA, NonSci GPA, Cumulative GPA
3. by category:math,zoo/bio,chem, ochem,biochem,physics,english,other nonscience,behavioral science,other science

allopathic uses BCPM as you stated
DO schools use BCP(no math) and other sciences such as engineering as you also stated. I studied engineering for a short time and those engineering classes were included.
