<p>I was starting to fill out the AMCAS application. The application mentions that if there is a transcript on file at the college/university, it must be reported, even if taken while in high school.</p>
<p>I took a lot of college courses as a dual enrolled student through my community college and SUNY Albany. Will these courses be figured into my AMCAS GPA? </p>
<p>Intermediate Spanish - 4 credits
Psychology - 3 credits
Sociology - 3 credits
English Literature - 3 credits
English Composition - 3 credits
Latin American Studies - 3 credits
Biological Research - 10 credits (2 year long terms, and 2 summers) </p>
<p>My undergrad GPA at Cornell is a 3.51 in engineering. </p>
<p>If the 29 credits of As were counted, my GPA would be raised to ~3.60.</p>
<p>Also, my research was in Biostabilization…can I count that credit in my BCPM GPA?</p>
<p>For 499, I’m guessing every semester will have to added not just a lump sum of 10 or however many you have, am I correct?</p>
<p>Also, when we add our classes to the application, we will have to add them by semester? If that’s the case, 499 will have to be added to every semester we have taken it?</p>
<p>Thanks! I was actually asking about research credit I obtained in high school, it was through SUNY Albany…the courses were CAS 109, 110, 208, 210.</p>
<p>The course number is simply under College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), but the research was completely bio related, and my mentor was a biology professor. </p>
<p>If I classify these courses as Biology, will AMCAS change them? The courses are simply titled “Advanced Research Methods”</p>
<p>I also did research in college…but those were registered under Bioengineering, which should be listed as Biology because it’s very much biotechnology related. Mostly biology heavy, with a little quantitative stuff mixed in.</p>
<p>Speaking of which…I’ve taken a lot of bioengineering courses which are listed as BEE (bioengineering). Some of the courses are very biology heavy…others are not (ex: BEE 331 - Fluid Mechanics, or BEE 450- environmental transport processes)</p>
<p>Am I allowed to just classify the biology based BEE classes as biology, and classify the rest as engineering?</p>
<p>AMCAS is a little finicky about course classifications… it’s sometimes hard to predict. Just do the most accurate job you can and they’ll sometimes change things and sometimes won’t. One of my friends had to reapply: she listed them one way and got them changed; the next year, she listed them the new way and got them changed back.</p>
<p>Something that’s listed CAS 109: Advanced Research Methods probably won’t get classified as BPCM (although you can try). Threre’s nothing that indicates it’s bio research or even that it’s research credit. For all AMCAS knows, it could just be a general seminar course on how to do research.</p>
<p>I looked up the official course name and it will show up as:</p>
<p>“CAS 210: Advanced Science Research”</p>
<p>A little better than Research Methods since it specifies that it’s science, but still could get changed.</p>
<p>Do you know if anyone’s ever had any trouble classifying BEE classes as biology? </p>
<p>AMCAS says to put “Biotechnology” courses under biology…and “Biomedical Engineering” courses as engineering.</p>
<p>Obviously I wouldn’t put BEE courses like fluid mechanics down…but what about “Cellular Principles of Bioengineering” or “Principles of Bioengineering”. Both were very much biology and biochem with a little math thrown into the mix.</p>
