Pre-Med GPA & BCPM Calculator

Enter your courses to get both your cumulative GPA and your BCPM (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math) science GPA - the split AMCAS actually reports to medical schools, which most generic GPA calculators skip.

AMCAS 4.0 scale, BCPM split included

What counts as BCPM?

AMCAS (the AAMC's centralized application service) splits your transcript into BCPM (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math - including biochem, statistics, and most computer science) and AO ("all other" - everything else, from English to psychology to electives). Medical schools see both your cumulative GPA and your BCPM/science GPA separately, and a strong BCPM GPA specifically is one of the first things admissions committees screen for. Grades are converted on AMCAS's standard 4.0 scale (A/A+ = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, down to F = 0.0) and weighted by credit hours, exactly like this calculator does. Nothing you enter here is saved or sent anywhere - it's calculated entirely in your browser.
