Will a Quant class count towards sGPA?

I'm currently taking a class entitled MATH 435: Quantitative Reasoning.

Because it's under mathematics, it counts towards sGPA, right?

Most likely, yes.

Yes, sGPA= BCMP, or any classes that start with BIO CHM MTH PHY or however your school abbreviates.

Sorry to hijack, but I'm a BME student. So what about classes taken through the engineering department that are more biologically based? For example, I have classes such as biomechanics and biotransport.

Hi, so when I took a bio-based engineering class (biotechnology), I listed it as bio on the AMCAS and they approved it, thus it was counted towards my sGPA. AMCAS has an official course classification guide (https://www.aamc.org/students/download/181694/data/amcas_course_classification_guide.pdf) that is helpful.

Under Biology (BCPM), they list "Biophysics / Biotechnology" and under Engineering (AO), they list "Biomedical Engineering". I think that biomechanics and biotransport could theoretically be listed as either (as I would imagine they would fall under biophysics or biotech). List them as whatever you want and see what AMCAS says. More likely than not, they'll agree with what you list (within reason).
