Question about physics class

On a good chunk of medical schools, it lists the requirements for physics as 8 credit hours. This would be two 3 credit hour classes, and two 1 credit labs. The problem is my school only counts this as 6 credits total. My lab is listed as non credit producing, and there is no such thing as a 4 credit hour physics class at my school.

So my transcript looks like this

Physics 1a (calculus based) - 3 credits - A
Physics Lab - Non-credit producing - A

Physics 2a (calculus based) - 3 credits - A
Physics lab - Non-credit producing - A


Also to note, that yes my classes did meet 3 times a week, and then we had one lab that was 2 hours long. I do not know why they do it this way. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Yes, just contact the admissions office(s) of the schools you are interested in and ask if you meet the spirit of the requirements, explaining your situation.
