<p>Hey! I was just wondering if classes had to specifically labeled biology, chemistry, physics or math to count on your science average. I am considering taking economic statistics and was just curious if it would count into my BCPM avg. Thanks</p>
<p>Thats a tough question. Officially, if its taught by the economics department of your school (i.e. has a course number like "Economics 153") then it goes under the "Behavioral and Social Sciences" description in AMCAS, which doesn't get counted under BCPM. However, if the actual course content is more math-based than economics based, you could try putting it under "Math" so it would go toward BCPM, but AMCAS reviews all of those when you submit your application and will change anything they don't like. </p>
<p>A lot of my friends who majored in Engineering got screwed on their BCPM GPA because all of their engineering courses (which consisted of hard science and math) didn't count for BCPM because the courses were through the engineering department.</p>
<p>This is the official guide, in case you're interested - check out page 41 for course classification stuff.</p>
<p>And when you say that your engineering friends got "screwed," it means they actually did very well in their hard engineering classes and it did not count as part of the bcpm gpa right?</p>
<p>haha yeah exactly</p>
