Do I have to enter the "and Lab" designation to the Biology 4000 class when entering into AMCAS? I know I will have to check the box that states whether the class included a lab or not. The lecture credit includes the lab credit, but as you can see, my transcript lists the lab separately as well.

I know the rule of thumb is to follow whatever your transcript states, but would entering into AMCAS as:

Bio 4000 and Lab 5 credits
Lab for Bio 4000 0 credits

be seen as a duplication and cause confusion/delay in verifying?
I think that you would list the BIO 4000 without adding the "and Lab" because the lab line would also need to be entered as a separate course on your transcript. The tricky part is do you list it as 0 credit hours or do you use the "Exempt" designation for the lab course? I want to say that you would put 0 credit hours just like your transcript says but I'm not sure.

You could always call to clarify the issue. They're probably not super busy right now (but will be soon )
