Is the 'and lab' phrase important in prereq name?
While filling out my first secondary, I realized that for one of my gen chem prereqs I forgot to write 'and lab' in the name (i.e. it just says "General Chemistry II ... (4 credit hours)" instead of "General Chemistry II and lab") and I'm worried schools might think I only took 1 lab semester. I believe I checked the lab box but I don't see that indicated on the downloaded application. All of my other prereqs are right. Is it worth sending a letter to schools explaining this?

Should I retake MCAT with 125 subsection score?
I am wondering if I need to retake my MCAT to be competitive for MD schools? I scored a 510 but I'm concerned about my unbalanced results. They are 125/127/127/131. I don't know how I did so poorly on Chemistry/Physics. On my practice FLE tests, Chem/Phys were about 127. I do have a 3.97 science GPA. Will I be screened out from schools with a 125? Will schools see my academic grades and be reassured I can handle the rigor of medical school? I wonder if this will be a topic brought up in...
