Anyone know how to find out for sure if a class count toward science GPA? which organization decides?

 

[pharm B]

It depends. If the school uses PharmCAS, then PharmCAS makes the decision. For all other schools, it's up to them individually. Are you trying to pass of economics as science?

My schools don't use PharmCAS, so we're still in the dark ages of the convenient old days. 🙄
