Are physics and math courses included? The AADSAS does not specifically specify unlike the the AAMC (pre-med) do in their manual.

AADSAS does have it in the instructions, and I've posted the huge list before, but since I can't access my account anymore, I'll just say that yes, Physics is included as Physics, and math is included as an "other science."

So would exercise biology count as a science course becasue in UC davis it's under college of biological sciences. Would all course offered by that department name EXB count as a science? What about food and science technology (FST) courses.?? thanks

So do subjects in the "other sciences" category count toward the "science gpa"?

Just curious, but did you do poorly on your MCATs or something? Your previous posts suggest you did.

Computer science is non-science?? Why did I get a B.S. not a B.A...

 

[Munchy]

does Statistics count as a math (thus a science course)?
