When applying to Medical School, there is the BCPM GPA (Biology, Chem, Physics, Math). It is usually referred to as the "Science" GPA, and I know that certain courses such as Psychology courses wouldn't be counted as part of that GPA.
However, would the following be counted as part of the BCPM GPA?
"Human Body/Health & Disease with LAB - BIO 123
I have read that Behavioral Social Sciences, Health Sciences, etc are NOT Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Math, so they are NOT included in the BCPM GPA. Basically, I have read this: With VERY FEW exceptions, ALL courses taught by those four departments are included in your BCPM GPA, and all courses NOT taught by those departments are NOT included in your BCPM GPA
This course does look like a Health Science course, but then again it is categorized under "BIO", so this is pretty confusing to me. - It does have a "BIO" on it but everyone has said classes like human health don't count, My college is very very small and maybe they just made this in the Bio department because we don't offer many majors either.
-------------
Please help ASAP before my registration deadline. I am deciding between this class which I know I can earn an "A" in, and a Psychology class which I also know I can earn an "A" in. One of them might be included in the BCPM GPA, and the Psychology class is in the normal one.
