When medical school look at your science GPA, are they only looking at the prerequisite classes relating to science that they only care about, or are they looking at all of your science courses including the advanced ones?

All science classes and math too for MD. I think DO leaves out the math.

The cumulative gpa and science (BCPM) gpa are both published in the MSAR and thus, both are important.
The science gpa includes all science courses, not just pre-requisites. Many schools have no pre-requisite classes.
