Calculate Your Science GPA for Medical School
Medical schools evaluate applicants using two separate GPAs: your overall cumulative GPA and your Science GPA (BCPM). Our calculator helps you determine your BCPM GPA, which includes only Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math courses.
What is Science GPA (BCPM)?
Science GPA, also called BCPM GPA, is a specialized GPA calculation used by medical school admissions. BCPM stands for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics. This GPA includes all courses classified under these four categories, regardless of your major. AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service) calculates this separately from your overall GPA to assess your scientific preparation.
Science GPA Formula
Science GPA = Σ(BCPM Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Σ(BCPM Credit Hours)Why Science GPA Matters
Medical School Evaluation
Admissions committees use Science GPA to assess your ability to handle rigorous science coursework in medical school.
MCAT Correlation
Strong BCPM performance often correlates with MCAT science section scores, showing consistent scientific aptitude.
Screening Threshold
Many medical schools have minimum Science GPA requirements (typically 3.0-3.2) for application consideration.
