I just think its unfair because programming isn't easy..is it really considered in the "other gpa"??

isn't easy != science. Not hard to understand.

compsci=science gpa from what i've heard

BCPM = Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math

comp sci is basically math, albeit discrete math, but math nonetheless

then again, engineering includes bcpm topics, but it isn't bcpm, so it's all arbitrary definitions by AMCAS

Upper level computer science classes border on theoretical math, not that this is a winnable argument.

lol, I just got the "!=" part; it's been awhile since my C++ days

I think it has a lot to do with what department at your school it falls under. It's been a while, but I'm 99% sure that comp sci classes were BCPM on my AMCAS (but comp sci and math were the same department at my school).
