Is a course called "The Musical Brain" - Neuro 300 Considered in BCPM if cross-listed as music course?

[Twixmoment]

Hi all, I got a less than ideal grade on a course I took as a freshman that I would rather not be included in my BCPM GPA. The course name is NBB (neuroscience) 300, but is also cross-listed as a music course (MUS 309). On my transcript, it shows NBB (neuroscience), but frankly the course was more music oriented than science oriented. If I listed the course as a music course rather than a science/neuroscience course, would this be considered dishonest?

The actual rule for multidisciplinary courses is to go with the majority of content. So if it was mostly a music course like you say, then you should have no issues.

Worst comes to worst, I think the people who verify your app would just change the classification on you. But I don't think you'd be accused of lying for putting a music course as a music course.

But there are people on this board who have a lot more experience than me who might tell you differently.

Call it non-BCPM. The worst that can happen is that it gets switch to BIO and the fact that AAMC switches it will not be held against you.

Also check you institution’s policy for transcripts. I had a course cross listed as both nutrition and ecology and was able to make the course labeled as nutrition even though I had originally registered as ecology.
