Pumping up BCPM or A/O

So the next cycle is approaching....get pumped. I did a preliminary calculation of my GPA with this semester's grades (starting to take shape) and I have the following:

BCPM: 3.8 (being good at math rocks)
A/O: 3.66

There are 3 classes that I could potentially put into BCPM:
1. Mathematical Economics
2. Econometrics
3. Stat based psych class

should I put them into BCPM and get it even higher over a 3.8 or put it into A/O?

well, if they have a B, C, P, or M as the code in front of the number, I'd say go for it. AMCAS/AACOMAS will correct it if they don't think it counts.

3 definitely put into BCPM as it is a stat course, 1 & 2 if coded ECON-xyz, might not be accepted by amcas as econ is a "behavioral and social sciences."

I know they would count for Math because they are all mathematical, but the decision lies in where they should go? Bump up BCPM more or A/O...it is up to me.

No one looks at A/O grades separately, so I'd put them under BCPM.
