Does the Science GPA include Math courses?

Yes. For AMCAS, the Science GPA is known as BCPM, which stands for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. All undergraduate math courses, including Statistics and Calculus, are included.

How does AMCAS calculate repeated courses?

AMCAS does not offer grade replacement. If you retake a course, both the original grade and the new grade are averaged into your cumulative and BCPM GPA calculation.

Does Neuroscience count toward the Science (BCPM) GPA?

Yes. AMCAS officially classifies Neuroscience under the Biology category, making it a core part of your Science (BCPM) GPA.

Does AMCAS round GPA up?

No. AMCAS displays and verifies GPAs to two decimal places without rounding. For example, a 3.749 is recorded as a 3.74.
