This might be a strange question but on the AADSAS section where you enter your coursework should I list Math (precalc, calculus 1, calculus 2) and psychology courses as "Other Science" or "Non-Science"? Dictionary.com lists psychology as "the science of the mind or of mental states and processes." And I don't know but math is just too damn hard to get away with me listing it as a non-science course. what do you all think?

I email them and they said psychology as "non-science." At my school, there are some psych course that consider science. For ex, cognitive neuroscience, molecular of minds... But they said if it is psychology course, it is non-science.
It is sad because psych is so easy to get an A, i could have raise my science GPA so much.

A student may take an upper-level psychology course such as "The Physiology of the Brain" that is heavily based in the biological sciences; that course can be counted as a BCP course, even though it was offered through the Department of Psychology, a "Non Science" department.

For my kinesiololgy bachelors, I need to take a lot of SIM classes (Sports and Injury Management). I actually take more SIM than KIN classes. Would those be under science as well?

Thats why it isn't considered a science class...😛

But some are… and can be counted as BCP.

See above.

I had a psych/bio hybrid minor and all the classes I took for that minor, even if in the title of the class itself had nothing biologically related in it, counted into my science GPA.
