How you classify courses on your AMCAS application is important. All courses that you classify as Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math will count toward your BCPM GPA. AMCAS will provide your BCPM GPA (as well as your non-BCPM GPA, total undergraduate GPA, and graduate GPA if relevant) to medical schools.
Computer engineering and computer science have a lot of overlapping characteristics, but the major difference is found in how the obtained skills are used. While computer engineering focuses more on hardware and electronics, computer science focuses on computer programming and software design. Both areas involve the study of advanced mathematics, physics and programming, but computer engineers are more likely to use those skills to build hardware than to build programs.
Although both courses deal with computers in itâs entirety, computer engineering and computer science tackles two very different aspects of computers. To put it in simplest terms, computer science tackles the software side of computers while computer engineering takes on the design and build of computer hardware. In computer science, it is essential to learn the basic structure of how the software performs it tasks. It is their task to make sense of the Mathematica formulas of the real world and convert it into a series of steps that the computer can follow.
