so i talked to the prehealth advisor at my school and asked whether the course water chemistry or parasite ecology would count towards my science gpa. she said that these courses would not be factored into my BCPM gpa since they are "natural/physical sciences". Is this true?

thanks.

If the courses are listed under "CHEM" or "BIO" then they will be listed under your BCP gpa. Otherwise, it might be listed under "other science" on AADSAS.

That's what one of my advisors told me as well, but it turned out they were wrong- I counted my ecology/geology course towards my BCP gpa. I made sure that course was listed under the bio department though. She also thought my astronomy course wouldn't count for BCP.. but it did.
 
well one of them is under environmental sciences and the other is under ecology, so i mean..idk. would genetics count towards the bcpm?
