Astrology definitely doesn't count toward your science GPA.
Right, but orgo isn't on that list, just Chem. Like things like that.
Does forensic science?
Ok, so that is the part that confuses me. Things are classified as bio or Chem in my school, but they're not traditional courses. So idk if they count towards sgpa
No, allied health courses do not count toward sGPA.
Only courses in CHEM, BIOL, MATH, and PHYS categories count toward sGPA. If it starts with any of those prefixes (or your school's equivalent), it counts, so long as it's 100 level or higher. Even if it's like, CHEM 174, Aromatic Chemistry of Breakfast Cereals.
Ok that was my question lol thank you. And online science courses count as well towards sgpa, but might not be accepted by med schools, right?
Sorry, just to be clear, prefixes beginning with SCI are not accepted, correc?
Correct.
Yep. While we colloquially call it "sGPA," truthfully it is "BCPM GPA," which includes only biology, chemistry, physics, and math- all other science courses are exempt. This causes some interesting quirks, such as at universities that have their own astronomy department versus those that have astronomy fall under the physics umbrella- ASTR won't count for BCPM, but an astronomy course that has the PHYS designation will.
