Hey all!

I'm continuing my DIY post-bacc in the Spring but I'm stuck between choosing 2 classes. I'm currently registered for "Drugs, Brain, and Behavior" which is a neuroscience heavy class with psychopharmacology. The other class is "Immunology" which would be perfect, but I've heard that the class was difficult to get an A or B for reasons besides the material with previous class data backing it up. Should I keep the "Drugs, Brain, and Behavior" class or switch into Immunology? I'm fine with taking either classes but the problem I have is I'm not sure if AMCAS would count the "Drugs, Brain, and Behavior" class as BCPM and/or if med schools would be receptive in seeing the class as a GPA/transcript repair rather than a "fun/filler class." With "Immunology," the class is perfect for my post-bacc but if it is impossible to get an A due to reasons, I don't want to jeopardize my GPA/transcript repair if I can help it. I also couldn't find classes that would get me out of this pickle. Thanks!!!
 
I don’t think the first class, IMO, is seen as a “fun filler class”. What’s it labeled as ? Like course code?
 
It's labeled as "PSY4935 Special Topics: Drugs, Brain, and Behavior"
