Are these classes BCP or Science?

So, there are very few pre-dental students at my school and my prehealth adviser isn't super helpful with a lot of my questions. I know this is very specific so thanks in advance to anyone that can offer insight. I'm an environmental science student, so I've taken a ton of envs classes and done well in them.

The AEDA AADSAS Lists the following as biology classes:
Biodiversity
Ecology
Evolution
Physiological Science
Physiology
Population Biology

They do list environmental science as "Other Science". I've taken the following classes which are labeled as ENVS courses, but I believe they might count towards my BCP gpa:

Evolution
General Ecology
Conservation Biology
Restoration Ecology
Community and Ecosystem Ecology
Physiological and Population Ecology

Adding these classes to my strictly BIO/CHEM/PHYS labeled classes increases my bcp gpa from a 3.16 (ouch) to a 3.35 (slightly less ouch), so it's a pretty big jump. Any insight on whether these will count? Also, will a LoR from one of these professors count as a science professor?

I think they will. In AADSAS, you'll be asked to select what subject each course falls into. Make your best guess and then whoever verifies your coursework will make adjustments as needed. Whoever verifies your coursework will use the course name (Ex. "Restoration Ecology") to classify which subject it falls under. So in your case, since the courses include "Evolution" and "Ecology", they'll probably be classified with those subjects and therefore fall under "Biology".

As far as I know, a professor from these courses should count as a science professor. If you're concerned that a school might not count it, send them an email to get confirmation and you can rest easy knowing for sure.
