I transferred undergrad schools and subsequently did a post-bacc program. While I understand that med schools will see all transcripts from the undergraduate coursework I completed, my GPA went up significantly at my second school (3.2 vs 3.9). Which GPA will med schools look at?

both.

edit: sorry, misunderstood and didn't realize you have Undergraduate 1 + Undergraduate 2 + Post-bacc. see Catalystik's answer below.

by both I meant that your undergraduate and post-bacc GPAs would be separate, and they would therefore look at both. but since you have undergraduate coursework from two institutions, the coursework will be reported as one undergraduate GPA.

Primarily med schools will look at the new composite undergrad GPA and BCPM GPA that the med school application service recalculates for you, taking all coursework attempted into consideration. Your year-by-year GPAs, with all postbac work on its own line, (GPA, BCPM, and All Other) are also apparent. If an adcomm wants to look at grades for individual classes, each class and grade is listed on another page. GPAs earned at each school are not listed.

The year thing should cover it, then...unlikely that they transferred in the middle of a semester.
