hey everyone.. just a quick question.. i repeated a physiology course at a different university. It the initial university, the class was 3 credits and the lab was 2. During the repeat, the lab was included in the class, and the whole thing was worth 4 credits. Can I count this as a repeat even though they have different credit hours? How would i write this on the AACOMAS application?

so it is considered the same topical course? shoot, i wouldn't worry at all. say it is a repeat course and fill it in as 4 credits. adcoms are smart enough to figure it out. they're certainly not going to get mad at you and reject you because they think you were trying to pull a fast one!

or is the aacomas not letting you label it as repeat because the credits don't match??
