Courses on my unofficial transcript appear all in all caps, as in MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. Should I write it in all caps like that, or should I use sentence case, as in Molecular Biology?
Hi, I see that you have a lot of questions about entering items into the AMCAS application, and just wanted you to know that there is a specific help thread for that: *~*~*~*Official AMCAS Questions Thread 2017-2018*~*~*~*
If it's not in the thread already, you can always ask.Thanks for the reminder. I searched for capitalization and didn't find anything, but I will try again with different keywords when I get home.
You should write it as it says on your OFFICIAL transcript

You will learn that when thinking about costs, you must calculate 1) time, 2) money, 3) effort. What you have saved in a few dollars has now cost you time, something you cannot earn back
If you had read the free downloadable AMCAS instructions carefully, you would have see that the first line the section on coursework
Section Four: Course Work

Great point about valuing time versus financial costs etc. So hard to keep all the spinning plate in perspective, and I find myself prone to be more willing to waste my time when I should be doing the exact opposite. Same goes with one's energy as well.You will learn that when thinking about costs, you must calculate 1) time, 2) money, 3) effort.

This inspired me to add the following sentences to my Uber/Lyft driving blurb in my activities section. Keep, rewrite, delete?: "To maximize the efficiency of my time, I drove 12+ hour shifts on many holidays. Last Halloween weekend, I drove over 24 hours total."
That's not really the definition of efficiency within the context of that activity, more like consolidation. Efficiency would be taking fares while driving back home from volunteering.
I think you're looking to express that you used free time to earn money and support yourself. While this is an efficient use of free time, using the phrase, "To maximize the efficiency of my time", isn't really providing the reader with enough information to draw the conclusion that you want them to.
I have seen you've posted a lot concerning your PS/activities and how their message will be interpreted. My advice, besides sharing your essays with someone who is an English/writing major, is to read your essays and ask yourself, unbiasedly, "Does this convey my message beyond and shadow of a doubt?" If the answer is yes you need to redraft.

I like this bolded part. Using it. Good advice. And I do do take fares on my way back from volunteering sometimes! Do you think that's worth mentioning?
It's worth mentioning if it's apart of the message you want to express. Only you know what that message is.
