Ok. I've read through all the aacomas instructions, I called aacom (and got an answering machine to leave a message 😡 ), and I still have a few questions:

1. How do I classify advanced lab? The experiments involved copper-glycine structures, porphyrins, vitamin B12 models, and identification of an unknown hydrocarbon structure. I put it as "organic chemistry". Good or no?

2. Do any of the following go under "professional courses" since I got a certificate for all of those: my paramedic, ACLS, BLS, PALS, AMLS, BTLS, and assorted firefighter certifications? Or should I just leave them off? No grades were received, just pass, completion, and certificates/certification. Certainly I worked and/or volunteered as a paramedic and firefighter, so should I assume they pick up on these things or no?

And, as a side note, they sure don't leave much room for work experience, do they? I'd like to submit by Monday. Everything else is in and looks good.
