Ok, in high school I took gen. chem I and II at Wesleyan Univeristy. Because I had to travel from my high school, I only took the course component and not the lab component. On my Wesleyan GPA, it has both of these courses as 1 credit hours. When I went to my home university the next year, I had to take the lab component, and because my school doesn't separate the classes, I had to take gen chem 1 and 2 courses again. I received an A in both of these and each were listed as four credit hours on my GW transcript. I could have swore I listed both of my GW courses as repeats, but looking at my verified app today, it only lists Gen chem ii as a repeat. Either I messed up and forgot to list gen chem I as a repeat or AMCAS changed it. Is there a way of finding out. When I look at my wesleyan classes on my amcas app, it lists each as having OT hours of 1 and seem hours as 4. It lists my two gen chem courses with lab as 4 OT hours and 4 sem for my home university. I have the strong feeling AMCAS made this change, but any suggestions as to what I should do? I don't want to appear dishonest to schools when I had absolutely no intention of that. For clarification, I took Gen chem I and ii lecture only in high school, and i took the combined course and lab for one grade at my home institute.
Verified today, but my sGPA is too high

Maybe Amcas factored in the fact I technically received a grade of an A in each of the lab sections (by reviewing an A for the combined course) and they didn't want to discount this fact, so they made one course a repeat and the other not?

If AMCAS had to change something, there will be a mark next to that grade. I think it's an X, but I am not sure. If there is no special mark next to the "changed" grade, then everything is the way that you submitted it.
Ah, thanks. I just looked at my Gen Chem I at GW (the one not listed as a repeat), and it has an "X" next to it, so they must have changed it. That's great, because my GPA looks a lot better than I thought.
