I am sure I am not the only interested. But to any of engineering majors that applied for medical school , what classes were able to get classified as BCPM? Like i know for instance electrical, you can get circuits classified. I was hoping to make one concrete thread where it would have a diverse of classes people were able to get counted as BCPM.

There's way too much variance in class content between different engineering schools. Technically, engineering classes are all non-science. I might try and get cell engineering and mechanics as science though, so we'll see what happens.

I majored in ChemE and didn't put any of my engineering classes as BCPM. If you are allowed to it would have been nice for my situation though.

I am BME and got most of my eng. classes counted for BCPM. Mine were:

Biomechanics (as physics)
Materials Science (as physics)
Physiology and Engineering (bio)
Biological Transport Phenomena (this was math or bio, I don't remember..)

The ones I did not classify as BCPM were Intro to Chem.Eng and BME Design

I'm taking most of my engineering classes senior year so I didn't have to classify those, but you can probably classify almost any engineering class as BCPM. I didn't have any issues with my classifications.

I was an electrical engineering major. I counted the following toward BCPM:

Electromagnetism (Physics)
Circuits (Physics)
Linear Systems (Math)
Classical Control Systems (Math)
Non-Linear and Digital Controls (Math)
Motor Drives (Physics)
Electric Energy Systems (Physics)
Electronics (Physics)
Circuit Analysis Lab (Physics)

Things I counted as Engineering:

Signal Processing
micro-controller design
digital logic
etc.

It's all based on the the class description not the course title or department. If the class description describes it as a class that could be considered physics or math then list it as physics or math. All the engineering classes I specified as math and physics were approved by AMCAS.

I was a mech eng major, and I was pretty loose with what went into the BCPM bucket. The worst that can happen is your primary takes a day or two longer to verify. Worked out well for me, as I was selective about what I called BCPM based on grades.
