Are we supposed to include classes that are in progress for the final year before matriculation as In Progress? Or do we just enter up to the summer we apply? Thanks in advance...

You have to enter all the classes that you're planning to take for the upcoming school year. I think it's a way for them to see if you'll be able to complete all the pre-reqs for med school before your college graduation.

I think that it is actually optional but you should if you aren't done with the premed requirements (like me).
Good luck filling out the application.

Here is what AAMC responded:
Thank you for contacting AMCAS.
You can do this. However if you are not completely sure that you will take this classes then it is really up to you. Once you list these classes and submit your application it cannot be changed or updated.

What I did was list the premed prereq classes I was planning to take during the year, and left the rest out. As it turned out, I ended up pretty much changing the order in which I took everything. It wasn't a big deal. Most schools ask you for a schedule update at the interviews, no one seemed to mind that I had decided to take physics backwards. And the rest of the classes I ended up taking I just added then.
Just put down your best guess on classes, and then if you end up making significant and positive changes (like 200 units of neurobiology, or medical ethics, or something), then you have a good excuse to write update letters to schools later. (And depending on how things go for you, waitlists, etc., it can be nice to have a good excuse to remind schools how interested you are)
