What counts in the science GPA?
Each health profession has its own online common application service. When you apply for admission, you will enter all of your coursework and grades into one or more application service, and each one has its own method of classifying courses for the science GPA. Usually, application services count courses listed in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics toward the science GPA. Biology often includes courses listed in neuroscience; it does not include courses listed in psychology or cognitive science, or other sciences such as geology and computer sciences (engineering is usually a separate classification). Mathematics generally includes courses in applied math as well as statistics courses in the social sciences (e.g., sociology and psychology). For more specific information about which courses count in the science GPA, consult the instructions for the application service(s) you will be using when you apply for admission.
