    Is business calculus and finite mathematics counted towards BCPM?

    Hi all, I took business calculus and "finite mathematics" my freshman year back when I was a business major. These are both 100 level math department classes at the small private university I'm attending. Will these count as BCPM and thus count towards my science GPA on my AMCAS?

    I have a 3.55+ gpa and around a 3.1 sci GPA as of now. 1. Given my spring course load I will be able to pull my sci GPA to around 3.2. I have room to add genetics into my schedule, which could increase my sci gpa a bit more. I am also planning to take the DAT this (spring) semester. Should I...

    Public health courses sci gpa

    Im just wondering if adcoms for Osteopathic schools will frown upon using public health courses to count toward science gpa? I have a good amount of public health courses i did well in but not sure if a 3.0 BCPM or 3.3 BCPM with pub health courses mixed in looks better for overall sci.

    If the BCP GPA is so important, why do schools only report science and cumulative GPA?

    In the past year that I've been on this path, it's been beaten into me that the BCP is incredibly important. I get it, it's all the pre-reqs rolled up into one number. IF that is the case, why isn't the BCP GPA reported in any of the AADSAS or dental school publications? When I go to the...
