AMCAS (MD programs): Math in Science
Save the headache. Journey saves your courses, tracks GPAs, at your fingertips anytime.
Journey →Three applications. Three different GPAs.
MD, DO, and podiatry applications each recalculate your transcript with their own rules. The biggest difference: what counts as “science.”
AMCAS
MD programs
Science (BCPM) GPA includes Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math. Every attempt of every course counts.
AACOMAS
DO programs
Science GPA covers Biology, Chemistry, and Physics only. Math counts as non-science. All attempts included.
AACPMAS
Podiatry (DPM) programs
Science GPA covers Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Math is grouped with all other coursework.
The grade scale
All three services convert letter grades to a 4.0 scale. Grade points are multiplied by credit hours, summed, and divided by total graded credits.
| Letter grade | Grade points |
|---|---|
| A+ | 4.0 |
| A | 4.0 |
| A- | 3.7 |
| B+ | 3.3 |
| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.7 |
| C+ | 2.3 |
| C | 2.0 |
| C- | 1.7 |
| D+ | 1.3 |
| D | 1.0 |
| D- | 0.7 |
| F | 0.0 |
Frequently asked questions
Why is my science GPA different between AMCAS and AACOMAS?
AMCAS counts Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math in the science (BCPM) GPA. AACOMAS and AACPMAS count only Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Math courses move to the non-science GPA, so the same transcript can produce different science GPAs depending on where you apply.
How do Pass/Fail, Withdrawn, and AP credits affect my GPA?
Passed Pass/Fail courses and AP credits earn credit hours but are excluded from GPA calculation. Withdrawals, audits, and incompletes carry no credits and no GPA effect. A failed Pass/Fail course (NP) counts as 0.0 grade points.
Do repeated courses count toward my GPA?
For AMCAS and AACOMAS, every attempt of a repeated course is included in your GPA. Neither service replaces grades. Policies can change, so always verify against the current application instructions for your cycle.
What GPA do I need for medical school?
Recent MD matriculants average around a 3.7–3.8 overall GPA, and DO matriculants around a 3.5–3.6. Schools read GPA in context, trend matters, and a strong upward trajectory can offset a slow start.
This calculator provides an estimate to help you plan. Your official GPAs are computed and verified by the application services (AMCAS, AACOMAS, AACPMAS) from your transcripts. Always confirm details against the current application instructions.
