Ah, I am confused.

i am bioE major, and have taken some weird bioengineering classes like.

graduate course
stem cell biology
computational bio

undergraduate courses
computational bio
biomechanics
biothermodynamics
principles of bioengineering

public health class: statistics in public health (straight up math it was...)

and what about engineering classes in general. kinda sucks my gpa in these are higher than bio...
 
If it says biology in the course name, I'd list it as bio. I listed some of my engineering courses as physics (the ones where I had A's) and AMCAS didn't change it. Statistics qualifies as math, regardless of what department taught it. I think the example AMCAS gives is that biochemistry is chemistry, even if you took it in the bio department.

I just noticed you're pre-dental though, so I don't know how similar your process is to AMCAS.
 
You know the content of your classes and if the CONTENT was bio, math etc. select it as so. Some of my masters nursing classes were straight up bio, but the school listing is NUR. It only took one e-mail to AMCAS to tell they were indeed bio (some even cross listed as such) and UP shot the BCPM.

As stated above, not sure about non-AMCAS apps. Good luck.
