Do Athletic Training or Kinesiology classes count into your sci gpa?

 

[lekso]

I believe KIN classes are considered "other science." They won't be calculated in your BCP GPA but they might be included in your sciGPA. I hope they include them, that would raise my GPA a little. 👍

Where would EMT (emergency medical technician) classes fall under?

 

[yappy]

I just read this on the AADSAS site:

"undergraduate GPA's: biology-chemistry-physics GPA (BCP); science GPA (all science courses including math, natural sciences and BCP; non-science GPA. "

So does "other science" GPA factor into the science GPA? Is a clinical course like a emergency medical technician course considered an other science or non science?

 

[yappy]

So I called AADSAS and they told me EMT courses go in "other science"... I also emailed them the and they responded that it should go in "non science" lol.

I know this an older thread but what does accounting classes fall under? Other Science or non science???

 

[rav4182]

accounting isn't science...its economics/business. therefore non-science

I also just read this on their web site:

"Science GPA: All undergraduate courses identified on your transcript as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math and Other Science is used in computing this GPA."

The link for this is here:

This makes me happier because after realizing this, my science GPA gets a lot higher 🙂 (Thanks Geology).

Hope this helps.

I was looking for this thread forever!
The list posted by undergradguy7 was helpful! thank you 😀

But does anyone know what category these 3 courses fall under?
1: population health and reproduction
2: environmental toxicology
3: environmental science

If not, i'd appreciate a point in the right direction so i can find out myself.
Thanks!

It would depend what the course prefixes are and what department offers them. Can you elaborate a little more?

1: population health and reproduction is a department offered through my university's veterinary school. The class itself is PHR106-Animals in Society
2: environmental toxicology is also a department. The class is ETX110-Toxic Tragedies
3: environmental science and policy is also the department. The class is ESP101-Human Ecology

I hope these are science-y enough to at least be Other science...
