I am calculating my sGPA and was wondering if I should include any of my statistics courses? One of them was through the sociology department and one was through the psychology department.

Include the stats classes

. . . . if you are applying solely through AMCAS.

 

[Catalystik]

Yes,
AMCAS has BCPM (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math) only as "science" with anything else being AO (all other)
AACOMAS has "Science" including all typical college science class and "Non-Science" which means anything else including math

And I recall that TMDSAS (Texas public med school application service) has stricter guidelines about what Statistics courses are included in their BCPM GPA.

 

[Catalystik]

For the purpose of being thorough for those applicants to which this might apply: What is included in the TMDSAS BCPM:

MATHEMATICS
Courses taught in the mathematics and/or statistics departments of an undergraduate institution.  

Consideration of courses not in traditional mathematics/statistics departments will be made on an individual basis by TMDSAS staff.  Outside content experts may be consulted in some cases.

Prescribed Coursework Designation

The following is the criteria for including courses in the Biology, Chemistry, math, and Physics (BCPM) GPA.
