This might sound stupid but I am curious
do med skuls look at your cGPA or sGPA... which one is more importnat?
And when you refer to sGPA... does it include all the science courses that you took throughtout your 4 yrs or only the prerequite ones?

Thank you guys !!

Hey, Please don't take this as an insult, but are you foreign? I think you are going to need a lot of help on your personal statement. As for your question, its always a mystery as to what goes into the selection process for med schools. Both are very important and will be influential. Some schools will value your sGPA more because it might be an indication of your abilities to handle a massive science workload. Others might value a high cGPA because it shows you are well rounded, a quality good doctors should have. In terms of what a sGPA means, it is an average of ALL science classes taken as an undergrad, not only medical school per-requisites.
