Do they just want 3 classes that are classified as BESS under AMCAS? I took 2 econ classes which I see on amcas would be listed as BESS but I'm not sure if they count. I'm trying to get stuff together in case my WL's dont work out for me and I don't want to take a sociology class or something if i don't have to.

Call them. This requirement was somewhat confusing for me as well when I applied, so just ask them. Also, i think AP credit can be used towards part of this requirement.

This. They let you know in an email if your requirements aren't complete. So just ask them to do a check beforehand.

This is the answer to 90% of all SDN questions. Call the school.

Yes. I called them and asked, and they said they email if you don't have all your requirements met. However, if you're really paranoid, you can call them and give them your amcas number... and they do the check for you right there. ( I hope they don't get a 100 calls because of this post... I feel bad for them as it is. 🙁 )

why feel sorry for them? They should make their requirements more clear

I emailed them today and they said you need 3 classes in either political science, psych, or econ. 2 must be in the same field. So in your case your econ classes should count as long as you have taken at least one other polysci ir psych class you are fine. Me on the other hand...i have to go ****ing take another psych class-_-.....what a stupid ass requirement.

Well, by "they" I meant the people in the office. They didn't determine the policy (which I agree is very lame to begin with)... but they're the ones that have to put up with all the phone-calls.

Get over it. The school's requirements are only "unclear" because they do you guys a favor by accepting courses that aren't strictly behavioral/social science. Call the school and they'll tell you. And Hal9000 is right; the Admissions office staff don't make the rules; have some respect for the crap they put up with.
