Science GPA

I have been trying to calculate my science GPA and I'm not sure exactly which classes go in. Obviously, gen and organic chem and physics. But I have also taken human physiology, pathophysiology and clinical chemistry which was basically biochem. Do those count as well? 😕 and all of the labs too? Thanks!!!

What about certain engineering classes? For example, i have a class that's really thermo 1 but on the transcripts it's described as chem eng oper 1, but thermo 2 (still designated as a ChE class) is explicitly called thermo 2? do i put the thermo 2 and not 1? and if i put these engineering classes do i have to put all/most of the others? will it cause amcas to move them all (i know we don't really know what goes on in their minds, but any speculation? ). i don't want them moving the engr classes and have them bring down my bcpm gpa haha!

Your math grades count as science gpa also. The "C" I got in Calc (5 hour class) killed my gpa 😡

All math classes like stats too?

 

[Termwean]

don't know about stats. ask premed advisor board at school. My stats class was catalogged as a psych class for some reason. I know that the alg/trig and calc classes counted for science, but that was according to my premed board, don't know what amcas will do.

You guys can check for specifics in the AMCAS manual. Course classification starts on page 31.

don't mean to hijack the thread, but i have a q. along the same lines...
i've been hearing conflicting stories, so i thought it wise to ask:

do my science labs go into my science gpa?

Yes, definately
