Medical Are there any courses at college coded as BIOL (biology) or AST (astronomy) that won't count for BCPM GPA, such as if they are really easy?

Next semester I'm taking AST 1001 (intro to astronomy, titled, "Exploring the Universe"). It has a reputation for being super easy. I know astronomy counts for BCPM, and I really want this class to count. Do any classes coded as AST not count, such as if they are super easy?

If it is astronomy and that’s under BCPM it doesn’t matter how easy it is. It counts.

Check the course subjects list for the application services of interest. It might count towards your science GPA but it might not impress anyone screening your application if you have a ton of astronomy, geology, or zoology coursework and not recommended biomedical science.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Check the course subjects list for the application services of interest".

Basically, don't water down your sGPA with a bunch of easy courses. Some are ok, but ADCOM know which courses are easy and which are tough.
