Supporting Your Medical School Application

AMCAS, AACOMAS and TMDSAS GPA Calculator

Everyone knows you need a very good GPA to get into medical school. The lowest GPA you’ll typically see is 3.5/4.0, and that’s for schools that aren’t as prestigious. You’ll want to check the GPA requirements for each school to which you’re applying. You’ll also want to calculate your GPA to see where your grades are now and to see what grades you need to earn to keep or get your GPA where you want it to be.

Additionally, you’ll need to calculate your GPA when you apply to medical school using the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS), the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOMAS) and/or the Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service (TMDSAS).

When calculating your GPA, you’ll need to include all the classes you’ve taken. This includes old Science classes that you retook. Even if you replaced your grade with a better one, AMCAS and AACOMAS still require it. The only exception is the Fresh Start Program that TMDSAS offers. But even with TMDSAS, you still have to report old grades if you’re not part of the Fresh Start Program.

Let’s look at how to calculate your GPA for each of these application services.

How to use your GPA for each application

We’ll start with AMCAS since it’s the most centralized application service for allopathic medical schools in the United States. Use your GPA calculator results to confirm your overall and science GPAs, then enter those numbers into the AMCAS fields required on your application. Once you’ve done that, follow the same step-by-step approach for the other application systems—AACOMAS and TMDSAS—using their corresponding calculators, since each service categorizes coursework and calculates GPA slightly differently.

Your high school GPA matters for more than report cards. It can affect honors programs, scholarships, college admissions, and the academic options you have once you arrive on campus. If medicine is your goal, tracking your GPA early helps you build the habits that make college science courses less stressful.

Our medical school calculator now includes a high school GPA tracker option so you can track your grades as you go, not months later when you’re trying to reconstruct everything from memory. Add each class, enter the credit value your school uses, and select the grade you earned. If your school reports both weighted and unweighted GPAs, record both. Weighted systems vary by district, so the cleanest approach is to treat your unweighted GPA as the consistent baseline, then keep your weighted GPA as a second reference point.

If you are still in high school, you can use this tool to do three practical things. First, you can see how one semester changes your cumulative GPA, which helps you set realistic targets. Second, you can keep an organized record of every course and credit so you are not hunting for old details later. Third, you can export your data when you need to share it with a counselor, advisor, or parent.

Tip for high school students: Most schools count full-year classes as 1.0 credit and semester classes as 0.5 credit, but always match what your transcript uses. If your school uses quarters or blocks, use the credit value shown on your report card or transcript.

Is this the same as my official GPA?

It should be close if you enter the same credit values and the grading scale your school uses. Final transcripts are still the official record, and some schools apply special weighting rules that can change the final number.

What is a weighted vs an unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA is typically on a 4.0 scale and treats classes the same. Weighted GPA gives extra points for harder courses in some schools. Since weighting rules are not universal, an unweighted GPA is usually the most consistent number to track over time.

Do I need an account to use the calculator?

No. You can use it without an account. An account is useful if you want to save your classes and come back later.

Should I track high school GPA if my goal is medical school?

Undergraduate GPA is what matters for medical school admissions, but high school GPA is still a strong early signal. If you build consistency now, college coursework tends to go better.
