Sorry for yet another GPA question.

Non-trad here. BS 95 with a graduating GPA of around 2.7. Just completing the 4 full year prereq's as a post bac and am about a 3.02 in those.

2 questions:

Will there be any differentiation from my (long ago) undergrad vs. my post-bac...or will it simply all be fed into AAMCOS for an average GPA?

Also, I took a number of science courses (upper level A&P, lower level OChem, etc) as part of my undergrad. Will these courses be figured into BCPM?...or are just the 4 primary series counted? If my undergrad courses will be counted...could I then, next quarter, retake some of them and improve my GPA even though they were originally taken prior to receiving my BS?

Hope this made some sense, and thanks for any replies.
 
All natural science courses will count. DO schools will replace grades, MD schools will average them.
 
When you see your application, undergrad, post bacc, graduate, etc...will be listed seperately by program type and year. Yes, all your grades from UG and PB will be counted when calculating your GPA. As the above poster said if you repeat a class, AAMCOS will replace the last grade with the most current grade. The other think you want to know is that for Osteopathic schools your science GPA is BCP, math is not factored into your science GPA.
