Need help verifying classes that are considered BCPM

[willdoanythingtobeadoc95]

Hey

I wanted to know, would these courses be considered BCPM?

- Genetics, Organic Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry Lab II, Biochemistry for Biomedical Sciences, Calculus I, Summer Laboratory Observation

- Ecology, Introduction to Biobehavioral Statistics, Seminar in Research Problems, Comparative Physiology, Calculus II


I thought they would meet the criteria for BCPM, but AMCAS thinks that a couple of these classes dont meet that criteria (I know for sure that they dont consider Summer Laboratory Observation a BCPM course).

I am planning on either calling AMCAS to get this fixed or submit the online form. is there one method that is particularly better

Biochemistry for Biomedical Sciences could be under the HEAL category, instead of Bio or Chem. Seminar in Research Problems might depend on the department under which you took it. And if Introduction to Biobehavioral Statistics had too low a course number, it might not have passed muster either.

Biochemistry for Biomedical Sciences was a biochemistry course, Seminar in Research Problems was taken in the biology department, and the Introduction to Biobehavioral Statistics course number was 292

I think the issue was with Seminar in Research Problems, Introduction to Biobehavioral Statistics, and Summer Laboratory Observation.

Could I call them to explain all this, or do I have to fill out the form on the application?

You have to fill out the form and include the link to course catalog description of the classes you wish to dispute:
