Hi,
i am a Finance major. I want to know if my Finance classes will count into my BCPM or not? Finance is not strictly Math or Stats, can someone help? I am not doing well in my Finance classes. but am acing science classes.

thanks.
 
In the AMCAS help file, Finance classes are listed under Business, not under Math, so you wouldn't have to count them. If you had ones that were clearly math from the titles (e.g. maybe "Calculus for Finance"?), you'd be in the gray area where you *could* call them Math if you wanted to, but could also probably get away with not.

Thank you soo much for the right reply.

Also if you have the AMCAS pdf file ... then it is listed in there what classes can be listed under what.....also as Lorelei said if you can justify a particular class under BCMP, then do it.....e.g. I had "Multivariate Analysis" for my business degree which was calculus based and I classified it as BCMP and AMCAS had no problem with it.....
