BCSP (Science) GPA
BCPM (science) GPA includes all Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math courses taken as an undergraduate. Because there are many sub-disciplines of science, courses listed in other disciplines may be counted as part of the BCPM. On the primary application for medical school (the AMCAS), you will have the opportunity to classify your courses with one of 20 categories. The rule of thumb for deciding if your course should be classified in one of the BCPM categories is: If the course content, for example a biomedical engineering course, is 60% or more “Biology” content, then you should classify the course as “Biology” rather than “Engineering”. You should be prepared to provide AMCAS with a syllabus, lecture topics and/or catalog description if you are challenged on your classification during the verification process. A listing of the JHU courses that are traditionally classified within one of the BCPM categories outlined on the “Calculating Your BCPM GPA” page on the Pre-Prof. website. Instructions for how to calculate your BCPM GPA appear on this same page.
