Does Psychobiology count as BCPM?

Does anyone know if a class like "Psychobiological Aspects of Drugs" would count as BCPM? It's from the psychobiology department

This is the course description is "Focuses on pharmacology, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy as the foundation of understanding behavior and social consequences of drug use."

I think it might! UCLA has psychobiology and all of those are considered science gpa boosters!

Sounds like BCPM.

I would claim it as BCPM and see if they change it. If it's not, no harm done - the AMCAS staff will just revert it to non-BCPM.

So my major includes neuroscience courses under the psych department because of how my major is set up. The classes that counted for me as BCPM were clearly labeled in the course title. For example “Psych ### - Behavioral Neuroscience” counted, but “Psych### - Psych of addiction” did not. I think as long as it alludes to the fact that it’s a science course, you should be okay.

I already applied, I'm taking this during my application cycle, so it's more for like update letters to show like I can handle science courses (since my sGPA is kinda low), so I guess my question is, will adcom see this as science?

Take it at face value.

If AMCAS/AACOMAS/TMDSAS allows it to be classified as BCPM, it's BCPM.

Whoops, forgot to quote @futuregyn

I designated a similar course as bcpm. Amcas accepted it, which resulted in my >99%tile gpa

Depends on if you did well or not
