I'm getting a BHS (health science) but that is not an option on the application. Should I choose BS or other?

also... I have 3 classes (anatomy, physiology, and anthropolgy)... i took these courses while in high school through dual enrollment, and they are included on my university's transcripts as transfer credits with grades posted (not included in GPA)... should I include the two universities I received the credit through? and should I list the courses when filling out that section on AADSAS? I recieved A's in all so it would be helpful...

thanks!
 
I would incude all the courses you took at the university level, yes. but you will need to supply official transcripts for them.

About the degree - I'm not sure... I might put down BS because they might wonder what "other" is all about...

is it a university degree?
 
yeah, its from the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami... They give degrees of BA, BS, or BHS... the BS and BHS are basically the same, BHS requireds anatomy and physiology courses in addition to standard bios, and except the more "difficult" chems are needed for BS, which I took since I did an unofficial "pre-med" track.

thanks for the input
 
Why not call the registrar's office at your school and see if your BHS is properly categorized as a BA or a BS? It doesn't matter too much either way. Your AADSAS app will breakout how many sciences classes/credits you have with corresponding GPAs.
