Is the sGPA calculated by BCPM courses or just strictly Biology Courses? If it is calculated by BCPM courses, then do courses like Elementary Analysis count?

Also, I'm a psychology minor. Most of the psychology classes I have taken have been based on how the brain functions/works. Would that be counted in the sGPA as well?
 
Have you looked at the chart at the bottom of the linked page? TMDSAS tends to be a stickler for what is allowed & counted towards GPAs

Edit: TMDSAS uses the same standard as AMCAS with primary course content as the basis of classification as it says below, so use your judgement and if you think that the primary content is biology, then classify as such

COURSE AREA
Indicate the course area from the drop-down menu for each course.

Below are the subject areas and courses which qualify for each. Please select course classifications based on the primary content of the course. For courses that are not listed, use your judgment – TMDSAS will make a final decision in determining the correct course area during processing.
Thank you very much!
