    Potential Transcript Error on AMCAS

    So I submitted my AMCAS to be verified yesterday and I may have made a mistake inputting my courses. On my transcript, it says "Subject" (which BIOL, CHEM, etc is listed), and then "Course Number" (101, 102, etc). I did not include the BIOL part on my application, because it was technically...

    My application was just verified and immediately I received a rejection from Touro saying I didn't meet the 3.0 requirement.
