I was just filling out my prereqs on a portal for one of my last secondaries left with AMCAS open on the side, and I noticed that there is an error in my Course Work section. One of my labs is incorrectly listed as 3 hours instead of 1 hour. I don't know how I never noticed until now. I just reached out to AMCAS support about the issue, but I'm not sure if I should do anything. Is it ok / will schools recognize that it is just a mistake? Or should I reach out to all the schools I applied to and make them aware of the issue? I couldn't find any threads or questions on errors in AMCAS, so I'm really uncertain on what to do. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I'd wait to see if AMCAS support can provide any help, but if not I don't think you should be super disadvantaged for something that minute in detail

Was your application verified with that error or are you awaiting verification? I would expect that error to be caught in the verification process.
My application was verified early in July, which is part of why I was surprised when I noticed it.

Did getting 2 extra credits for the lab effect your GPA (I wouldn't think that it would in any major way)? My inclination would be to ignore it.
