Ok...a real dumb one here. I am far enough into the process that I should know...and yes...I searched and for some reason cannot find the answer...so if you would...

When applying you have 2 groupings of grades. Science v. non-science.

When I look @ md applicants dot com...I see 2 groupings. The one that concerns us mostly is listed as BCPM which I assume to be bio, chem, phys, and math. Am I correct? Will math be included in our BCPM...or is my observation wrong?

Just want to make sure I am figuring my GPA correctly.


Any tips as to how this works will be appreciated.

AACOM doesnt include Math in Sci GPA calc.
