<p>I am a biomedical engineering student at UT. For my major I was required to take an intro to computing and intro to programming course in which we learned assembly language and C/C++. Programming is probably my worst subject and I was absolutely horrible in the class so I received a C (Professor curved down) and a B in those classes, respectively. I was wondering whether these courses would be included into my science GPA and how much of an emphasis medical schools would place on these courses?</p>
<p>they won’t count in your science GPA …there is a computer science category on the AMCAS</p>
<p>Science gpa = BCPM = Biology Chemistry Physics Math</p>
<p>Any courses that fall under those are science gpa factors. Note that astronomy falls under Physics and so it does affect science gpa. Read up on the AMCAS website for other details regarding science gpa classifications.</p>
