Does anyone know if anatomy and physiology can be calculated into your science gpa. Or is just the required science classes. 🙂
 
As far as I know, all of your science classes are calculated into the science GPA that is sent via AACOMAS, not just the prerequisites for the specific program.
 
The following document is a copy of AACOMAS Instructions.

<a href="http://www.aacom.org/students/app/instructions.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.aacom.org/students/app/instructions.pdf</a>

Pages 7 and 8 outline the courses which can be placed under science GPA and those that cannot.

I suggest you take a look through.

But, to answer your question...YES...both Anatomy and Physiology (or a combined course) will be calculated into your science GPA.

Have a great day.
