I fulfilled my physics pre-req through DE and AP Credits. The course I took in high school was lab+lecture, however I believe that I forgot to click this option when doing my AMCAS course works. Am I just screwed here, or is there anything I can do. Should I email the schools and clarify this, or should I just reach out to AMCAS? Just want to make sure I'm not making a big deal out of nothing.

I am yet to be verified as well, if that means anything. I know there is a way to request a course correction on AMCAS, but I don't believe that is available until after verification.

I would check with AMCAS to see if it can be corrected.
So I called AMCAS and they said they can't change it. I will try to submit an academic course change after verification, although I'm not hopeful on this. Would you recommend I email all the schools I'm applying to and notify them and let them know that I do fulfill the physics lab requirement? On my transcript the courses are listed as college physics and are 4 credits each. Would this still count if its not explicitly labeled lecture + lab?

Is this something where I would be automatically rejected if I was missing the pre-req, or would I have the opportunity to explain it?
