so if you have any class that is Biology something, for example BIO 301 which is human sexuality, it will be counted in your GPA. What about a class Like Bio Psychology. I took BIO 2 at community college which is zoology but when i transfrd to uni, it listed as zoology. So are they goin to count my bio class i took at community college
 
At my school, Human sexuality is listed under pyschology and wont count in sci GPA.
 
A sceince class is not determined simply by the prefix of the course. A science courses is a science course because you learn science in the class. Qarmonist, if you think Human Sexuality is a science class, make it one.

True only in part.

NO psychology classes are counted as science courses (for the purpose of GPA) by AADSAS.

But you are certainly correct that Qarmonist could list the course under whatever heading he wishes on his AADSAS application. It just makes things a lot easier if it has a science prefix. Although, I'd imagine that most adcoms are far too busy to match AADSAS printouts to actual college transcripts.

It may be necessary to "adjust" the department of the class you want counted as a science class. Some classes with a 'PSYCH' prefix, are honest-to-goodness science class, while some classes with a 'Bio' prefix have nothing to do with science.

So your saying one can just take his or her transcript pick and choose the classes one wants to be in the science gpa or bcp gpa? Won't one be able to increase the gpa if you pick and choose because i have like biological anthro and its an anthro, psychology of human sexuality also felt like a science course and so did biopsychology so i can put all these in science or bcp just because i feel like its a science course?
 
Biopsychology should be listed as a science course in my opinion. I would count it as a neuroscience on the AADSAS transcript. At least the courses I've taken could all be classified as neuroscience though on my transcript they have the Psych prefix simply because Biopsych has not been able to break off and form their own department yet.

Exactly my point! You may need to make some executive decisions about how to classify courses in order to make sure your classes are weighed accordingly.
 
Wait a minute some confusion. If i'm understanding this correctly you guys are saying I can take a biological anthropology course, a biopsychology course, a psychology of human sexuality course even though at my community college both those courses were under psych and anthro was under anthro department and add those into my bcp or science gpa, and not put the ones (classes that I got a B in) that I think will lower my science gpa into the cumulative gpa? This sounds like a bit weird. It's like picking and choosing what you want them to see by manipulating what goes where. Can't one increase ones science gpa that way? I haven't really touched the application yet i'm applying next year so i'm kinda a newbie in this department.

This sounds extremely unethical and deceitful to me. I wouldn't reccommend that you do this. These people are creating an uneven playing field. These statistics exist to evaluate people equally not to see who can manipulate the system the best. But if being a cheater gets you in and you can still sleep at night and want to screw everyone who is applying fairly, than go for it! :laugh:

WHA!?!?!? :eek:
I'm glad don't have the option to take that class :smuggrin:
 
if human sexuality under bio department count for BCP, does astronomy and cosmotology under physics department also count for BCP????
(I'm asking BCP, not SCIENCE GPA)
Even though human sexuality is under BCP if I think it is not biology course(even tho it is under bio department) can I indicate it as other science course?(i did really bad in this course lol)
