I have good science grades and bad math grades. On the AADSAS application I am struggling between listing my math courses as "non-science" or "other science" Is math really considered a science or is it more in a "science/non-science" gray area like psychology is?

On one hand, if i list my math courses as "non-science" my science GPA will be boosted significantly. On the other hand someone looking at the application will think I tried to circumvent their grading system. Need your advice.

Wish it could be different since it would help your GPA but these are the AADSAS guidelines.

According to the "Instructions For This Section" on the AADSAS application, math courses fall under "Other Science Courses". Also, if you tried to list it as non-science, AADSAS will change it. Here's a quote from their FAQs sections, "The AADSAS Transcript Processing Department will verify each course subject after receipt of your official transcripts."

math classes are counted as "other science". dont list it as "non-science" because it will slow down how fast your application is processed. read the AADSAS instructions, it lists how you should designate each class on the application.
