AMCAS includes all “college-level” courses in your GPA. Yes, this does give a boost to community college transfers - but of course, it is absurd to suggest that they are at an “advantage” in the process overall unless the grades disparity is very dramatic.

Your BCPM GPA is calculated, as is your overall GPA. Both are very important. Which is MORE important? I don’t think there’s an answer for this. Medical schools see and use both measures - but generally the advice we receive is in terms of BCPM GPA.
