I know no one will know for sure, but maybe they will be factored into the sGPA after MCAT2015

Some psych classes will count. I listed all of my psych research methods and bio/neuropsych heavy courses as BCPM courses and AMCAS didn't change any them. The course titles weren't necessarily obvious that they should be included as BCPM courses as well.

I highly doubt it. BCPM = biology, chem, physics and math. Just because they are adding soc and psych onto the MCAT doesn't mean what counts in BCPM will change

Sure they are. Sociology is a social science, psychology is too.

You meant for AMCAS I guess
