relaxer12 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I just noticed that on my verified AMCAS primary, they have all of my semester courses (even lab courses) as 3 semester-hour (I went to UofT so they have 0.5 / 1.0 credit system). Shouldn't lab courses be 4 semester hours???? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you select the "with lab" check-box as well as write "with lab" in the course name? If so, I believe schools should be able to see that a lab was included. From what I understand (and from what I've been told), hours are not all that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I "translate" by myself and give "with lab" courses 4 semester hours, instead of 3 given by AMCAS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the verified application indicate 3 semester hours for courses with lab? If it does, I personally wouldn't about it--however, I'm not a U of T student, so my units per class are different, and I don't want to provide you with false information. Maybe the following thread will help you a bit: http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54132 Sorry I can't help much with this one. Any U of T students out there??
