Track your Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Math GPA - the specific subset pre-med programs evaluate.
BCPM stands for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math - the four science categories that pre-med and pre-health programs specifically evaluate as a separate GPA from your overall college GPA. AMCAS (the medical school application service) calculates this automatically for applicants.
If you're applying to medical, dental, veterinary, or other health professional programs, tracking your BCPM GPA separately gives you an accurate preview of how admissions committees will assess your science coursework specifically.
Select 4.0, 5.0, 7.0, or 10.0 at the top of the calculator to match your school's grading system.
For each class, add the course name, letter grade, and credit hours. Add more rows as needed.
If you're in AP, Honors, or IB classes, switch on the Weighted toggle for that semester and set each course's type.
Click 'Add New Semester' to include additional terms for a full cumulative view.
Your GPA updates automatically in the gold stamp as soon as you enter grades and credits.
Only courses within Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math departments - not related science electives outside those four categories.
Your overall GPA includes every course you've taken; BCPM GPA isolates only the four core science categories admissions committees weigh most heavily.
Generally no, unless specifically cross-listed as Math or one of the core sciences - check AMCAS's official classification guide.
Many successful applicants have a BCPM GPA of 3.5 or higher, though this varies significantly by program competitiveness.
This depends on whether your college awarded actual course credit and a grade for AP coursework - confirm with your pre-health advisor.
They're closely related, but BCPM is a specific AMCAS classification limited to Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math - 'science GPA' can sometimes include broader categories.
Many health professional application services use similar science-GPA breakdowns - check your specific program's application service for its exact definition.
Yes, add only that year's BCPM courses as your semester entries.
Check your school's grade-replacement policy, and consider the course repeat GPA calculator to estimate the impact.
