My anatomy & physiology 2 class was under the kinesiology department, with the code KINS 3040. Is it still considered a bio class? It was real deal A&P2, 4.5 credit. It would suck if it isn't in my sGPA

Also, what is more core credit speech class considered by AMCAS? Other?

The course classification guide says kinesiology courses fall under Health Sciences, not Biology. You can try to classify it as Biology and see what happens, but I'm not sure how they'll code it when they verify.

Also, what is more core credit speech class considered by AMCAS? Other?

I have no idea what that means. But public speaking classes were under the Communication department at my university.

Sorry, typo.

That would truly suck if A&P isn't considered bio. If they don't accept it as a bio class, will my application be delayed so I can correct it?

They'll correct it for you. May take a little longer, but it's hard to say. Some people's applications seem to take longer to verify for no particular reason.

Ok. Thank you kindly anonymous Internet sir or madam.

It doesn't delay by much unless you have a large number of errors. Ultimately, AMCAS has a fairly comprehensive list of BCPM and non-BCPM classes, but applicants are trusted to make the decision as to how to list a course based on its content.

Could schools change the course classification after AMCAS has verified it? Some of my KIN (biomechanics) courses have been classified as Physics and I'm not sure if all schools will go by this or still require me to take additional general physics courses....
