is human development considered as part of the science gpa for DO schools? I looked at the AACOMAS website but didnt see anything. I didnt originally mark it as science in my application but i am beginning to think i should have. any thoughts?

content?
There are tons of science courses that are not listed on AACOMAs. They are still included in sGPA
Class description: Introduction to the theory of and research on development of children ages nine to the early twenties. Special attention is given to major transitions in the cognitive, social, and moral domains, as well as to psychological effects of physical maturation. Influences of the family, the schools, and peer relations on adolescent development are considered.
It also included how the brain changes, why it changes, how hormones affect the body. things along these lines
I took Psych of Human Development and I'm pretty sure it was counted in my sGPA (I think the AACOMAS sGPA includes psych courses?).
no
only psychology courses with significant biology, physiology, or neuroscience content.
Regular human development is not in sGPA
thoughts on the description i gave?
it is not even development through the lifespan. I took the same course. It is not counted as science GPA.
@gyngyn @Goro
It is simply a psychology course classified as behavioral science. I took the same course and it was not considered science. This content is not even considered for nursing program. They require Human Development throuhout the lifespan.
I took Cognitive psychology which includes several chapters of brain structure and function as well as neurons and such and it was not considered as science GPA.
ok thanks was just curious
The sounds like a psychology course, not a biology course. But this level of logistics is not my area of expertise. You'll have to ask AACOMAS
