Does plant biology count toward your science GPA? its called just plant biology not botany but its under the BIO section of a community close by and I wanted to take an extra class that this summer to boost my GPA.

Yes it does.

Anything with the prefix BIO counts as sGPA. Even if the course was "BIO 002 Coloring books in Biology."

Man I missed that course, sounds like a heck of a course to take to boost sGPA. 😀

Bio coloring class? That would suck. Imagine trying to color all the veins without getting any blue into the interstitial spaces!

Just call the blue that leaks into the interstitial spaces a hematoma 😀. Then maybe get extra credit for pathophysiology coloring included with physiological coloring.

Are you sure? I took a medical terminology class that was a BIO prefix. The AACOMAS guide says a medical terminology course should be counted as non-science. Do you think they would change it on me during verification if I marked it as Science on the primary?

They'd probably change it for you. That's the importance of the verification process.

At the end of verification you actually get to view the .pdf file of the application that's sent to each school. If I'm not mistaken, you'll see some boxes, checkmarks, X's, and other markings that I'm guessing AACOMAS workers do when verifying your stuff. Pretty neat.

That is what I was told by the AACOMAS rep when I talked to her last year. Maybe medical terminology is different because there's an explicit "medical terminology" in the list of class designations. I would mark it just in case.

I would just list it as BIO if it helps the sciGPA. Worst case scenario they change it to non-science. Nothing really to loose, but only gain right?
