Probably 'HEAL' for allied health.

Oh haha ok, health sciences. And sorry, but one more question, my freshman year I had to take an advising course (just had to meet with my adviser to pass, all freshman had to take it). Would that be classified as "other"?

Hmm, never heard of that type of class. Yeah, you probably can't go wrong with 'other' on that one.

Post it as whatever... and then the lovely folks at AMCAS will change it if they feel the need to.

So, assuming that you are not on scholarship, they charge you one credit-hour ($100-300) to meet with your advisor? What a scam!

Advisors gotta make bank too... who's gonna pay for their BMW 5 series?

Assuming his/her school doesn't have a 12-18 units=fixed price type of policy. My undergrad had a required orientation-type course. Freshmen usually didn't like it, but honestly, looking back, I think it was worthwhile for the students to take it. It covered a lot more than just reading, writing and arithmetic or study skills. Actually, it barely even touched on straight academic skills.

It's just written on my transcript. It counts for 0 credit hours and is given as a pass/fail course.

Same here! This topic is informative for me.

Yep, it's fixed policy.
