Application-service GPAs often differ from campus GPAs because repeated, forgiven, or transferred coursework may still matter during verification.

How AMCAS GPA Calculator Works
AMCAS recalculates GPA for M.D. applicants after transcript verification. The two numbers students usually watch most closely are the Overall GPA and the BCPM GPA. BCPM means Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math.
This calculator keeps the workflow simple: tag each row as BCPM Science or All Other, choose the transcript grade, and enter attempted credits. The result shows overall GPA, BCPM GPA, and AO GPA side by side so you can see whether your science record is stronger or weaker than your total record.
The tricky part is not the arithmetic. It is classification. Some courses are obvious, like General Chemistry or Calculus. Others require judgment, and AMCAS may classify them differently during verification. Use the estimator for planning, then check the official AMCAS course classification guidance before submitting.

AMCAS GPA Calculator Planning Checklist
Classify courses carefully
For health-profession services, the subject category can change the science GPA even when the overall GPA stays the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts in AMCAS BCPM GPA?
BCPM includes Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math coursework. The subject classification matters more than the department nickname students use casually.
Does AMCAS count repeated courses?
AMCAS generally uses the grades and attempted credits from coursework entered from official transcripts. If both attempts appear and are required to be entered, they can affect the verified GPA.
Is A+ higher than 4.0 for AMCAS?
No. In the common AMCAS conversion, A+ and A both carry 4.0 weight.
Why does AMCAS GPA differ from my transcript GPA?
AMCAS applies standardized conversion and classification rules. Your institution's GPA may use different repeat, plus/minus, or course-category policies.
