Hello!

I hope everyone's application process is going well. I have a quick question. I took biology and biology lab independent from one another, and apparently made a mistake because my biology lab course is classified as a "BESS" instead of a "BIOL". I don't know why I missed it and AMCAS missed it, but it happened, and I'm trying to fix the problem. I emailed all of my schools with the correction, but I was wondering:

a) Is this a huge issue or something that can be resolved pretty easily? Aka will this cross me off for any schools?
b) Should I call AMCAS and have them fix this? Will they if I do?
c) On the secondaries I have yet to fill out, should I put this in the "additional information" section?

Thanks!
 
It is something that can be resolved very easily. Just call AMCAS. They will fix it.
 
I had a misclassified course in AMCAS and they fixed it within 24 hours. Though, it was misclassified due to AMCAS and not me - I'm not sure if that would make a difference. I'd call them
