what's a science gpa?

[esca007]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can clarify this for me. What is considered science gpa in the med school application? Is it only the pre-req or all the science and math classes you've taken regardless it's lower div or upper div? Thanks

You've got it right. It covers every course that is considered a science or even comes under a science prefix. I've taken a few "philosophy of science" classes in the upper division, and those got figured into the science GPA too.

Science GPA = BCPM = Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Math (ALL OF THEM)

And if you're an engineer, you can can a lot of your engineer classes as well (assuming you did well... otherwise don't include these grades)

so would independent bio research course count as bio or special studies?

Well if it is in the bio department, then bio. Look at where it falls in your college catalog.
