Transcript says "Advanced Placement Math" and then 4.0 credits earned. That's it.😕
Right. It's just not cool how late our spring grades are released 🙁. There's no way around it though. I'm not sending in my transcript w/o spring grades. . . Or should I? I'm applying ED I think, so time is definitely of the essencerate limiting step is the transcript, which includes
1. your spring semester ending/grades coming back - you entering your grades
2. you requesting them
3. your school processing that request and sending it
4. US postal service
5. amcas sorting through mail, acknowledging that it received it
6. verifying your grades (depends on how early/late you are in line)

TOP!
Negative, not graduating in in spring, no upward trend (maybe like +.03 or something). I think I'll just wait 'til after spring grades. I mean, my MCAT score shouldn't be released until late June; so I should be verified by then, regardless. . .Are you graduating in spring? Are the spring grades part of an upward trend? You can also send follow-up letters with your new grades to your school, if you need to, but AMCAS would probably be better.

I'm just saying that whether I send my transcript now (w/o spring grades) or on May 27 after grades are released, I should be verified before the end of June, which is when my MCAT scores are released. I can deal with a 2 or 3 week waitYou can't get verified until they've received your transcripts...

sorry, i'm half asleep, so excuse the rambling
you finish up your app, but select one school to apply to, and you submit the application. after the 4-5 weeks it'll take to verify, they'll automatically send it to that one school you selected.
now you get your MCAT score back, and it's bad. So, what do you wanna do? reapply for the next cycle? simply withdraw that one app then. Do you want to retake the MCAT and still use it for this cycle? then go take it, and when the score comes out and you know it's a good score, you login to your AMCAS, designate all the schools you want to apply to, and resubmit ap.
Now, since the app has already been verified, and since the mcat score takes 30 seconds to upload into AMCAS, the schools will recieve your complete file within 2-3 days if not less.
Now, they will have the bad MCAT score and the good MCAT score. What did this method do for you? at least you won't be getting rejected based on your bad MCAT score. Yes, other people will say that the schools will wait for the 2nd score if you tell them to wait, but we all know that's BS for the most part. Even if it's not BS, you've got the two scores there, and they can't just throw away your app because of a low score.
Does AMCAS calculate dual-enrollment credits in GPA?
In high school I took 36 credits through a community college, all of which transferred in and left me with advanced standing at my undergrad.
These are not AP classes - My high school didn't offer AP.
So if we submit our letters to AMCAS now, that's it for the AMCAS letter writer schools and we don't have to do anything else with those schools and letters? They'll just chill with AMCAS until the schools want them?

anyone know how long it takes for AMCAS to verify/add LOR's after they are sent? I'm still waiting on one and a committee interview/letter..

hm. do you need to have all your letters added before AMCAS verifies you?
So long as the letters are sent in by mid-June to AMCAS, I should be okay?

wow there are a lot of AMCAS letter schools this time. which schools are not in it? good question
Just in time for us not to have that luxury 🙄I'm guessing by 2011 cycle, all schools will subscribe to it.
How important is it to include a contact in the work/activities section? Do any schools actually get in touch with them to check if you did what you say you did? Would it look bad if I didn't include a contact?
anyone having problems with amcas today, it seems sooooooooo slow. like 5-10 mins to load a page evrytime i click. Is it just the 1209391092 pre meds finally getting on today?😕
Thanks so much for all your help!! I failed an AP exam but my transcript still lists it and for credits earned it says 0. Should I include this class as well?
is myuu a guy or a girl? always thought you were a guy
quick question:
im not using the LOE service or a committee from my school: i will be asking my prof's to write me LOR, but i am applying to more than one school. so should they be generic? who should they be addressed to ie.."to whom to may concern" am i going to be just giving them a pre-stamped envelope to the AMCAS address?
