Automated pre-screening by (BCPM* and overall) college GPA and MCAT to decide which applications get read first by human readers won’t care.
Human readers may care. But they may not be familiar with every college’s course catalog, so they may not know whether you chose easier courses or harder courses. A reader may or may not have a subjective bias for or against your college’s perceived academic rigor. However, the following are typically thought to be viewed negatively:
- BCPM courses in the summer or at colleges other than your main undergraduate college (particularly community colleges; transfer students from community colleges are expected to take some upper level BCPM courses at their four year schools).
- Repeated courses (required to be marked as such on medical school application; note that repeats of AP credit may have to be marked as such -- see page 32 of https://aamc-orange.global.ssl.fastly.net/production/media/filer_public/2d/5d/2d5d7c94-6b23-4edf-ab1b-d574221bf6e3/2019-amcas-applicant-guide.pdf ).
*BCPM = biology, chemistry, physics, math as defined at https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/article/course-classification-guide/ .
