Basically, do behavioral science classes count into your science GPA?

Also, if anybody has a MSAR handy, do a lot of schools require behavioral science credits and if so, how many credits?

no, AMCAS has a separate category for social and behavioral sciences.

Only BCPM counts towards your science GPA: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math.

When you are putting your courses into AMCAS, you will be asked about what type of course it is. AMCAS has very specific guidelines about which courses fall into which categories, and these guidelines can be found on page 38 of this document: http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/2011amcasinstructions.pdf

I'd say at the min 6 credit's will do for 95% of schools. Most behavioral science classes will not count for sgpa. However, the exception is physical anthro and biological/ physiological psychology.(and maybe evolutionary psych?)
