I just wanted to drop this here in case any one in the future is having the same question I did and can't find an answer prior to submitting for verification.
If you "repeat" a course at a different institution, AMCAS DOES NOT consider that course a repeat.
I took Chemistry I and II at my undergrad institution almost 8 years ago. Fast forward, and I retook Chemistry I and II as a non-trad at a different institution (because I live in a different state now) as post-bacc courses to refresh my knowledge before diving into Organic I and II and Biochem. On my AMCAS application, I noted the Chemistry I and II courses that I took as posts-bacc as "Repeat" courses. THEY ARE NOT REPEATS, according to AMCAS. I just reviewed my application after verification, and they removed the "Repeat" designation from these courses.
I don't think it's all that big of a deal to have them correct that on my application, but I just wanted to share this, as I couldn't find a helpful answer to this prior to submitting. The AMCAS guidelines don't specifically spell this out, so it's a bit tricky to decipher (unlike AACOMAS who specifically says if you took the same course at a different institution, it is NOT a repeat).
Hope this is helpful to someone now or years for now
