ANOTHER BCPM question

<p>I'm a psychology major at my school and two of my required classes for my major are:
Psyc 215: Statistical Principles of Psychological Research
Psyc 270: Laboratory Research in Psychology</p>

<p>Will these be counted as BCPM? I know the kindly people at AMCAS looks at both course title and department in counting classes as BCPM and while these are both under the psychology department, the course titles both suggest that a fair amount of math and science is involved (I believe that one of the classes even has a four hour lab section); anyhow, I was just asking for the wisdom of those more experienced than I am, and am too exhausted from several exams this week to want to get shot down over at the SDN forums...</p>

<p>215 almost certainly not, although there’s an element of luck and randomness depending on your reviewer’s mood at the time.</p>

<p>270 definitely not.</p>

<p>Psyc 270-No</p>

<p>Psyc 215-Maybe. Statistics (even if it’s psych or econ stats) is math. The title suggests it’s a stats course applied to psych research so I think that might be counted as math.</p>

<p>How about biopsychology(listed under the psyc dept)? I looked on SDN and while there are several threads on this topic, they’ve all reached conflicting conclusions.</p>

<p>Most likely this is because AMCAS doesn’t treat it consistently. I’d wager it usually labels it AO, but occasionally BCPM.</p>
