Hi,
When calculating Science GPA, do they also count Biochemistry, Microbiology, and other classes that does not have Biology, Chemistry, and the like designation as science GPA?

One more question: Do AAMC also count developmental classes that are not considered college credit but as a supplemental course. For example, in my school, any class that is above 1000 level course is considered a college credit, therefore, Intermediate Algebra is 0099 course and its not 1000 level course. So do they count like this classes in your cGPA or sGPA or they don't count it at all?
Your answers will be appreciated!

When entering course work, you must include information and corresponding grades for every course you have ever enrolled in at any U.S., U.S. Territorial or Canadian post-secondary institution, regardless of whether credit was earned, and including any courses removed from your transcripts or GPA as a result of academic bankruptcy, forgiveness, or similar institutional policies.
This includes, but is not limited to:
·Courses from which you withdrew.
·Courses for which you received a grade of "Incomplete" and for which no final grade has been assigned.
·Courses that have been repeated.
·Courses that you failed, regardless of whether they have been repeated.
·Courses in which you are currently enrolled or expect to enroll in prior to entering medical school.
·Remedial/developmental courses.
·College-level courses you took while in high school even if they were not counted toward a degree by any college.
·Courses taken at an American college overseas.
·Courses removed from your transcripts or GPA as a result of academic bankruptcy, forgiveness, or similar institutional policies.

All graded courses count towards your GPA. P/F classes do not. A P in an A/B/C/D/F class counts as a C.

Woah, Woah, Woah. Are you sure about that? I don't think they can just give you a C if you take a class Pass/Fail? Can someone else confirm that because I'm taking a graded class Pass/Fail and I definitely don't want that to happen?

Read the post again. Sorry it was unclear. Receiving a P in a class that has more than 2 passing levels (High Pass/Pass/Fail vs. High Pass/Low Pass/Pass/Fail or A/B/C/D/F) counts as a C. If the class is ONLY P/F, then a P doesn't count as anything.
