Course classifications

[hschemteacher]

I applied for the 2012 class and have a number of "x's" by AMCAS on my Academic Record list that I'm just not sure why. If I called AMCAS, would they tell me why? (It's the weekend, or I would just do it right now and try). Things like Organic Chemistry (both I and II) I have as Chem, but AMCAS has a big 'ol "x" next to each of them. Neither had labs, so shouldn't be that. Courses with "x's" and how I have them classified are:
Chem: Organic Chemistry I
Chem: Organic Chemistry II
Chem: Directed Research
Chem: Intermediate Analytical Chemistry
Chem: Inorganic Chemistry
Hist: History of Science to Science Revolution
Phil: Scientific Thought

What's wrong with them?

What does your transcript say? If it's as you listed the courses, you could send them an email. But, the X might mean mothing since you got verified anyway.

So in 2012 AMCAS's transcript verification resulted in some X's and you're just seeing them now, 2 years later?

Sorry, I should clarify. I applied in for the 2012 class (and failed), and I'm re-applying for entry to the 2015 class. I printed my 2012 application as a guideline for entering my courses for the 2015 application (cross referencing with my transcripts), and figured if AMCAS put an "x" next to some of the courses, I would enter them correctly for the 2015 application. However, I can't figure out why AMCAS reclassified them. For the 2012 application, I entered them exactly as they appeared on my transcript.
Does that make more sense? Sorry for the confusion.

On a similar note, if I completed a course and then retook the course for a better grade, I know I need to enter both classes (and grades) on my course list, and do I put "Repeated" next to both of them? Or only the second attempt?

Thank you!
