<p>I know that medical schools look at your overall and your science GPA, but do they also look specifically at your grades in the premed requirement classes (intro bio, intro chem, orgo, intro physics, calc) as a separate category? I guess what I'm asking is, if you get somewhat mediocre grades in the premed requirement classes, can you make up for it completely with good grades in later science courses? Also, do engineering courses get factored into the science GPA?</p>
<p>They calculate two different GPA's. The BCMP(Bio/Chem/Math/Physics) and then your entire GPA. The BCMP holds the most weight, but you can't fail all of your other classes. There is no special consideration for engineer majors (no more weighted grades in college) because of the hard classes.</p>
<p>So science GPA is only the 4 bio/chem/math/physics course grades? No other science classes get counted? </p>
<p>I wasn't asking if they weight engineering courses more, but whether they are included into calculation of the science GPA at all. Thanks for the help, though.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they count as science courses as well.</p>
<p>whoa, engineering courses count as ''science courses"?</p>
<p>A lot of them do, not all but some.</p>
<p>How can I find out which ones?</p>
<p>The bio/chem/math/physics doesn't mean the 4 specific required courses, it means any course that has bio, chem, math, or physics as its main content. So, advanced classes in those departments also count. Sometimes math is not included, and it's often referred to as the "science GPA".</p>
<p>How do engineering classes (bioengineering-type classes specifically) figure into this?</p>
