<p>Sorry for being oblivious but how does the science GPA being calculated when you apply to medical school?</p>
<p>Does it only count the science courses that required by medical school (gen bio, gen chem, org. chem, etc) or does it include every science courses that you take in college (genetic, human physiology, microbiology, etc)?</p>
<p>And does labs also counted toward science too?</p>
<p>Thank you,
God bless</p>
<p>sGPA includes every class you take that has a science or mathematics prefix. (Bio, Chem, Phys, Math, Stat)</p>
<p>It doesn’t include courses with an engineering prefix or those in the social sciences (like psych).</p>
<p>And lab grades count.</p>
<p>And Labs are included</p>
<p>what if the class is listed in the psych department but its a stats class? (psych stats). It was more than 95% math.</p>
<p>AMCAS 2011-12 instruction manual p. 40 lists which course are calculated in your BCPM (science) GPA; any courses listed with a PSYCH prefix, no matter what the content, will count under AO (all other) and NOT be included in your sGPA.</p>

<p>Sorry, theespy, but that’s the way it works. I feel for you. I had a class that was crosslisted in Neurobio and Psych, and unfortunately when I officially registered for the course, I registered for the psych side. AMCAS wouldn’t count it in my science gpa, despite the fact that if I had simply registered for it through neurobio it would have counted!</p>
<p>Some parts of this process are a little unfair, huh?</p>
