TMDSAS applicants: are they picky about classes counting towards science GPA?

So I'm a psych major that's all but done with the usual prerequisites. Overall, I'm looking alright in terms of science GPA.

1: It is my understanding that, when they calculate your sGPA, the usual biology/chem/calculus/stats/physics classes are counted as well as the rest of your science workload (anatomy, pathophysiology, immuno, neurobio, and other such classes). Correct?

2: My major has had me take a number of classes that were essentially more like the above than anything else (sensation and perception and a particularly math-based social science statistics, for example). How picky is the TMDSAS as far as changing the categorization on these if you list them as "other science"? I realize that the overview specifically calls psychology "non-science," but I was in these classes; at least a couple of them are far more science than not.

Do you have an opportunity to contest any changed categories or anything of the sort?

Yes they are picky. I don't think challenging would be very productive, but you are welcome to try. Just keep this in mind, the longer you challenge, the longer your application is incomplete.
 
I had comp sci count under my science GPA but I think that was a rare exception.
 
Sorry for bumping my own half-year-old thread, but I've run into this problem. Science classes by content but not by classification are not going to be counted for your sGPA, period, end of story.

I tried. :(
