Is there a unit cap on the number of classes you're allowed to put under your BCPM list/sciGPA class list?

Of the 180 units I've done, the majority of them are core science classes and I just 2 pathetic grades compared to the rest and I'm finding it frustrating that my science GPA will be tabulated with those 2 grades included when the rest are beautiful/amazing/sumptuous grades.

Idk I'm just whining to be honest, but really is there any loopole for people who have taken a crapload of science classes and gotten bad grades in a couple? Out of 50 classes i've taken, 43 are BCPM. 2 bad eggs 🙁

No, there are not ways to pretend that a science class was not a science class.

I suppose if you didn't mark it as BCPM and nobody caught your "mistake." It'd be chancy at best but it might work if the course were in the middle of your transcript and not too obvious. The course title and dept could also change that. For example, if it was Bio 220 Intro to Nutrition or something, it could probably go either way and if you decided it wasn't BCPM, they might not change it for you. I've never really heard of anyone getting a non-BCPM course switched to BCPM by AMCAS (always the other way around), so I'm not sure how thoroughly they check your non-BCPM classifications....

It didn't affect my GPA more than 0.04 pts. It's making me neurotic whether or not adcoms will see the 35 As or the 2 Ds
