Hey guys, so after taking Physics I and II (with labs) at a different college over the summer, my University determined I would be awarded 11 credits. My question is how would I input that on the amcas application? The college I had taken it said it was worth 5 credits each, but since my University makes the actual decision for transferring credits would the unit hours be 5.5 for Physics I and II each? 😕

You write what's on the transcript from the university you took the course at on AMCAS.

You don't input what your university awards you towards your degree. You input courses taken at their universities/colleges. So you wouldn't count those credits (for physics 1+2) as part of your University X classes. You'd count them under your summer college classes.

How many credits did your summer college say they were worth? You know, you can have them evaluate them (if they don't use the same scale as everyone else) and provide you with the numbers.
