I took 2 college courses (Precalc and trig) back in the summer after my junior year of high school so that I could take calculus my senior year.

I was wondering, what do I list this as on my amcas application??
perhaps undergraduate?

Info. from AMCAS 2011 instruction manual...

Many students attempt college-level courses while still in high school. These primarily fall into the two following categories:

1. AP (Advanced Placement) Prep Courses/Exams

Unless credit has been granted by a U.S. or Canadian institution or university for an AP prep course or an AP exam, such information should not be listed on the application. If credit has been granted, courses/exams should be listed according to the instructions regarding AP credit. Do not send high school transcripts or AP test scores to AMCAS.

2. Other Courses

Many high school students take other types of college-level courses either independently or through special programs offered by their high school. Courses may be physically attended at the high school or at a college, depending on the program, but should be listed on the application under the name of the college.

You must contact the college involved to determine transcript availability prior to completing the application. If a transcript from the college is available, it must be forwarded to AMCAS and courses must be listed on the Academic Record. If a transcript is not available from the college, do not send high school transcripts to AMCAS. Instead, the registrar’s office of the college must forward an official letter with an AMCAS Transcript Request Form attached indicating that no transcript is available due to institutional policies.

Yep - and I believe you enter it as if you took it during your first semester (Fall) in undergrad.
