Listen to this.

Back in may when I was filling out my courses completed section, I was deciding which courses fit into BCP and which ones into 'other sciences'.

At my school, physiology is NOT considered to be a biology course, so naturally I assigned all of my physiology courses into 'other sciences'. They are simply two seperate subjects for us.

NOW i recently find out that physiology is considered a BIOLOGY (which it isn't, it's a medical science, but whatever). So now my AADSAS sGPA and BCP GPA are not right.

My sGPA and BCP GPA are roughly the same, but this worries me still. Is there any way i can correct this? somehow my transcript verifier at aadsas did not notice my million phys courses, so it went through uncorrected.

is there ANYTHING i can do about this? or should i just try to explain to the school what happened?

any input is appreciated, thank you.

ps-detroit fans, i'm sorry.
 
detroit fan here, i am sorry too.

if you get interviews, mention the problem/mistake with them. if your gpas are similar, i doubt it will matter too much. if it freaks you out a ton, just call the office.

Honestly, it doesn't sound like something anyone would even notice. If it didn't affect your GPAs significantly, than I wouldn't perceive it as a problem. If questioned (which I highly doubt), a calm explanation of how it is classifed at your school will easily clear up any misunderstanding.
 
Doesn't seem like an issue at all, I don't even think it would be worth mentioning in an interview since it doesn't have any effect on your GPAs. Also, medical science is based upon biology and chemistry and physics, so it would make sense as a BCP...not to mention the aadsas instructions say it too, but since there is no harm...no foul.
 
I would call AADSAS and ask if it's a problem if it's bothering you. Even after your app has been sent out they can make corrections and send out an "update" to your schools explaining the situation.

I completely understand your worrying about any inconsistencies in your app though. This doesn't sound like a very big deal though!
