Hi everyone,
I am pre-med wanting to apply to DO schools. At the school I am going to there is an anthropology class that counts as a BIOL elective but I don't know if I want to take it if it doesn't apply to my science gpa. Here is the info on the class. Any help would be great as I already called the pre-health adviser and she couldn't help me.
Anth 468 [T] Sex, Evolution, and Human Nature
3 credits
Prereq 3 hours Anth or Biol; completion of one Tier I and three Tier II courses. Human sexuality, male-female relations, cooperation, violence and parent-child relations examined cross-culturally and in nonhuman primates utilizing evolutionary and biocultural perspectives.
This is the text used: How Humans Evolved
Boyd; Silk 6 9780393912272

Does this sound like a class that will be approved under "other science"? Is this a type of "physical anthropology? Thanks

To me, that doesn't sound like it would count under "Other Science" but you know, no one here will be able to tell you 100%. Ask AACOMAS. They will tell you straight up.

I just pulled this directly from my AACOMAS application:
ANTH 1020 Biological Anthropology Bio/Zoology 3.0

The class was almost entirely about evolution. Enough monkeys to last a lifetime 'twas fun. Still though, it's a different course at a different university so who knows what will happen with yours. Nobody can guarantee that it'll count or not, but they counted it as a science for me. Maybe it helped that it had biology in the course title.

Thanks, I emailed aacomas. Do you know if there is another way to contact them?
