[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^Can you explain what BCPM GPA means? I’m guessing Bio/Chem/Physics/M-???? [/quote] M=Math. It is a stem GPA. Any course that is listed on the transcript or otherwise determined to be under the departments of biology chemistry physics or math is included. If biochem is a separate department it is included too of course. The BCPM GPA is the only one that really matters, as it is the apples-to-apples comparison among undergrads from the same institution, with the caveat that an engineering major will have 80% not 50% of their courses as BCPM and thus an overall much harder path considering taking 4 of 5 courses as stem versus 2 of 4 (typical science-major premed) is almost exponentially harder. Engineers are allowed a slightly lower gpa if needed though typically undergrad institutions provide the context of the engineering GPA, thus they can be compared to engineering applicants. [/quote]
