Does anthropology count in sGPA and does multivariable count as a calculus class?

I've taken an evolutionary anthropology class just for fun and got a bad grade. Really do not want that to go into my sGPA but a lot of schools list "anthropology" as a social/behavioral requirement.

Anthropology is not BCPM.

Check individual schools to see whether multivariable calc satisfies the math requirement.

Note that some schools want stats instead. Others want stats and calc. Some will accept AP calc credit; others won’t.

Anthropology does not count as science GPA.
MyOdyssey is referencing BCPM--biology, chemistry, physics, math classes.
Anything that does not fall into those categories is not part of your science GPA.
Hope that helps

Is the second part of your question does multivariable calculus count as a calculus class?

Uh...yeah Calc 3 was a BCPM class on my AMCAS since it was a math class.

As noted, anthropology is not BCPM.
Schools vary in their math requirements.
