I was wondering if there are any stats on the average Science GPA? I know how I said that the numbers dont matter 🙂 just wondering where I stand on things

Does the science gpa include all science courses taken or just the ones that each school requires for entrance. For example, an english major who only takes the basic core science classes vs. a chemistry major who takes upper level science courses such as p. chem, advanced org. etc?

all science and math courses taken including upper level.

Science GPA is an incorrect statement for medical school. It is BCPM or Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math. So if you took an astronomy class or a comp sci class, they will not count in the BCPM GPA (But still will count toward overall of course). However, every biology, chemistry, physics and math course you take will count. Whether it is an english major who only takes the bare minimum or a biochemistry major with all the advanced electives. You are better of majoring in what you like (this may or may not be the traditional bio/chem majors) and taking what BCPM classes you need and any others that interest you.

For example, I was a double major political science/history, with a law degree. I took the basic requirements plus genetics, biochemistry and pathophysiology.

Good luck!

Actually, astronomy typically falls under physics. But you have to read the fine print.
