In both cases, both courses should have been marked repeats 1) school A course then taken again at school B. 2) AP credit then taking course. Repeats do not affect AMCAS GPA calculation and are done for the convenience of the medical schools reviewing AMCAS course summary. unlikely to cause any issue
Each course in the AMCAS application must be classified strictly on the primary content of the course. You are responsible for selecting the correct course classification, but AMCAS reserves the right to change classifications if the assigned classification clearly does not apply.
AMCAS requires one official transcript from each U.S., U.S. Territorial, or Canadian post-secondary institution at which you have attempted coursework, regardless of whether credit was earned. To determine whether or not an official transcript is required for one of your undergraduate institutions, consult the AMCAS Applicant Guide.
AMCAS has difficulties matching applications to official transcripts that are not accompanied by the AMCAS Pre-barcoded Transcript Request Form. This form ensures that your transcript is matched to your application and provides more efficient processing.
The AMCAS GPA provides the medical schools with a standard way to compare each applicant's background. The BCPM GPA is comprised of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics courses.
Current/Future (CC) You are not required to list Current/Future coursework and you do not need to provide a transcript for these courses if you include them.
After you have certified and submitted your application, and AMCAS has received all of your required transcripts, your application will enter the processing queue. AMCAS staff will verify your application and ensure that the coursework data that you have entered correctly reflects your official transcript(s).
Yes! You can submit your AMCAS to one or more schools, and later you can log back in to add additional schools. This works really well if you're waiting on an MCAT score to come in. You can apply to 1 school, get your application verified, and then add the additional schools immediately once you get your new score.
Please note that AMCAS assigns the same weight (4.0) to grades of A+ and A. AMCAS counts all attempts of a repeated course, even if your school does not.
Some mistakenly think medical school reviewers are unaware of this fact, and if you don't mention it, they'll never know. Most of the time they'll know. In fact, if you're reapplying to the same school, they'll likely review your old application and your new application side by side to see what you've improved upon.

You can, and should, reapply to the same medical schools you had applied to the first (or second cycle) unless the school advised you specifically not to reapply. Nearly all reapplicants broaden the medical school list and add on more schools to improve the chances of acceptance with a reapplication.
Medical school additions or program changes can be made at any time, as long as the deadline for the school you wish to add has not passed. A fee will apply for medical school additions. Fees may vary each application cycle.
If you're okay with submitting your application before knowing your score, then late June/early July is okay. Taking it any later than that may delay your consideration by your schools, which is detrimental in a process where there are a limited number of interviews and seats.

AMCAS does not report A+. From what I remember, A+'s do show up on your AMCAS transcript, but you do not get anything more than a 4.0 GPA for that course.
AMCAS GPA is only different than your school GPA if your school uses an unusual system of calculating GPA. If it's the standard -. 3 for a - (eg A- = 3.7) and +. 3 for a + (eg B+ = 3.3), then your school GPA wil equal AMCAS' calculation.
