Hi all,

Does anyone know if Thermodynamics and a class on polymers (Structural properties of Polymers) fall under the science GPA category? I am not sure if these classify in the science GPA.

Thanks
 
I know that my friend who applied last year put certain engineering classes in his Science; but he was Biomedical Engineering ( I don't know if that made a difference with the class classification).

To be at all helpfull, I would try to find someone in your major or some other engineering major who has already applied and see what they did, or post in the allopathic forum and see if anyone there was in the same position.

Maybe you'll find someone here also who will be able to help.
I'll have the same problem come April, so I'm pretty interested to see any other responses there are.
 
Hey guys - we discussed this one to death during the fall - you can probably go back and find the threads (I'd do a search with "BCMP")

The short answer is that whatever category you put it into, the AMCAS employee who reviews your transcript will be the one who actually decides, so it's not worth spending time on. Just pick a category and move on.

Some of us had these classes included as science and some not, and the outcome had nothing to do with how we filled out the application, only with which AMCAS transcript reviewer happened to get our file.

Hope this helps!
 
For a definitive answer. I didn't take polymers, but thermo is listed as a science (chemistry) in the amcas instruction book.
