I took Karate as a course during my undergrad years. Under what course category does it go?

Also, I took an MCAT verbal prep course offered by my college and it was called "Rhetoric/Health Professions". Where should I place this?

Karate should be listed as "Other" (it's considered a sport)

I would list the Rhetoric class as ENGL or Other. Rhetoric is listed under ENGL.

Classifications don't really matter. AMCAS will change the classification if they don't agree with it, but that has no bearing on how long it will take to be verified. Neither course is a BCPM class, so a change in classification won't change your GPA. So just list it as whatever you want.

Thanks for reply. What about research rotations and directed research as a graduate student? Would that go under Biology if it was biological research?
