quick question:
does anyone know which classes AACOMAS uses to calculate your science GPA? In particular, I am concerned with a)whether core science GPA is based purely on Bio, Chem, Orgo, Phys, and Math grades or if it includes any other science courses taken and b) if AP scores are factored into the calculation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Good luck to all!

Math is not calculated in it, ummm, nutrition is, and also includes upper level sciences. You make you best effort to classify them, when AACOMAS verifies them, they will change them if need be. For instance, I took a course called pathophysiology but was a nursing course (NUR 250), they changed it to classify as science, and calculated it my science GPA, which I thought was fair because although it was designated a nursing course, it was hard core science.
