I thought we should have a thread for all those pre-med psyc majors out there who want to know which psychology courses, specifically, have been, or would be, counted towards their BCPM GPA.
The dilemma is this: many psyc majors have taken "PSYC" classes that were primarily biological in that they focused on brain anatomy, neurological bases of function, hormones and just the nervous and endocrine systems in general. We know the option is out there to count some of these science-y PSYC classes into our BCPM GPA, and we know that if they are counted, it could really help that GPA. The question is:
Which specific psyc classes are counted? Does anyone have any personal experience as to which ones AMCAS let them designate as biology classes?
I know there have been similar threads about these things in the past, but nothing as specific as this. I'm looking for input on specific psychology courses.
Hopefully all of us pre-med psychology majors can learn a thing or two!
