If the labs like genetics lab or ecology lab were separate from the course, do they count towards BCPM as well?

Also, do research grades count?

What about a class called lab in perception...it's all science based ---stats, etc...could that be classified as bcpm although it's offered in the psych dept?

BCPM == Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math.

If your class was not a part of one of these departments, then the grade you receive in it will not count towards your BCPM GPA.

eh, I stuck quite a few classes that weren't actually taken in the Bio dept (A&P, Pathophys, Neuro, etc, taken in either the Rehab Science or Occupational Therapy depts) in the BIOL section, and none of them got switched to the HEALTH classification. So it's possible to get non-BCPM classes put in that listing.

But that Psych lab would still go under BESS.

They don't have to be in the dept... idk what Cannon is talking about.

I took a physiological psych, neuroscience, and psych stats class and they all counted. It's really your discretion - if AMCAS disagrees with you, they'll change it.

Asked AMCAAS about this, the guy said it is up to us what we list under sGPA. If verification is needed, the syllabus/course description will do.

Only if you received a separate credit for taking the lab.
