Just called up AMCAS and they said that for designations of courses ~ they generally take the student's word for the classification. I.e. if you had a bionengineering class, you would determine if it leaned towards more biology or more engineering. However, blatant misclassifications will be corrected.

Did you guys hear the same thing?

I think it is good news...but as always take with a grain of salt
 
I put some engineering courses in BCPM and some in Engineering. None were changed by AMCAS. Incidentally, I put all my EE courses in BCPM. My application went right through with no delays.
 
I hope they take our word for it. I really think that some of my psych classes would count as BCPM (such as Physiological Psych) since it's more neuroscience but we don't have a neuroscience department. I do think that if I would have done poorly in them that I would have counted them as psych so it's not on the BCPM. :meanie:
