"Repeat" in AMCAS

Hi, I had some courses I did poorly (C/D) in undergrad. I repeated these courses in postbacc program in another institution. The course content is essentially the same. Does any one know if I should indicate this as "repeat" in the coursework entry in AMCAS? If yes, do I also indicate "repeat" for the same courses taken for the first time in undergrad?

I've read in another thread that unless it was at the same school, and the same course #, AMCAS doesn't consider it a repeat. But either way, I don't think it makes a difference to your GPA if it's a repeat or any other course so checking that might not make a difference. I'd still be interested to know what people did with the "repeat" classification for the first course.

i had the same situation as op and did not list mine as repeat. you must list all of them, however, not just the newer/better ones, and all of them will get calculated into your amcas gpa and credit totals.
