Can the following courses be classified under my AMCAS BCPM GPA?
-Trigonometry --> 3 cred
-Precalculus --> 3 cred
-Medical Terminology (it is provided by the Biology department at my school but I wasn't too sure) --> 3 cred
-Cognition (this was a psych course but it was part of my neuroscience major and it had a good chunk of bio in it) --> 3 cred
-Teaching Assistant and Undergraduate Mentorship (this was more of an EC but we also received credit for doing it; provided by the biology department) --> 1 cred
-Seminar in Neuroscience --> 1 cred
-Biobehavioral statistics (provided the psych department but this was basically all math and was needed to fulfill the math requirement for my major) --> 3 cred

Neuroscience is BIOL.

Trig and Precalc are MATH.

Medical Terminology is probably HEAL, unless there was a lot of anatomy, etc.

Medical Term is NOT BCPM nor will it ever be

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure because at my school it is offered as a BIOL course. What about biobehavioral stats? It's technically PSY at my school but this was basically a math course so I'm confused.

Neuroscience is BIOL.

So seminars can count in BCPM GPA?

Yes.

Course classification is based SOLELY on COURSE CONTENT; departments are used only a broad guide. Stats is stats

That's good to know. So for the Teaching Assistant credit I received can I put that under BCPM as well? It is a BIOL (1 credit) at my school and we basically helped freshmen (general biology) in the lab create their research projects and were tasked with teaching some biological concepts to the students before each lab. I was told that anything labeled BIOL should be thrown in the BCPM but I understand that course content matters too which is why I wasn't sure about some of these courses.
