Regular and Science GPA

[jaysondeguzman]

Hey I was just wondering how are each the cumulative and science gpa weighted? Also are math courses like statistics and calculus as well as courses like psychology included in the science gpa?

[oompaloompab0i]

each school weights each differently although ive heard that science gpa is weighted slightly heavier. math is included in science, psychology is not, its a social science

Dont want to thread steal, but what is the cutoff to what kind of math is included in the science GPA?

I think all math is considered in the BCPM... whether that be linear algebra, calculus, advanced engineering math, statistics, biostatistics, business math. I can't think of any math that wouldn't be in it.... unless it is something like 'History of Math' or something like that. :-)

The department doesn't matter, just the course content. But obviously the whole course has to be focused on math. It's not like you can count a class you took at real estate school as math since you used a few math equations in it... obviously that wouldn't cut it. As long as the course is totally math-centered. I'm pretty sure most engineering classes wouldn't count (unless the course is geared to teaching math, not principles of engineering)...as even though you'd use a lot of math in an engineering class, math isn't the point of the class.

natural and physical sciences, math, etc. are considered in the GPA.
