How detailed should we be when writing descriptions for our research experiences? Just a very brief overview or is it ok to go into some level of detail to describe the research being done?
I entered in my AP Credit for coursework the way it is listed on SDN. However, I had to take calculus (the whole year) over again in college and just received credit for AP Exam. Now when I entered it, it just looks funny with Calculus listed at my undergrad institution AND Calculus AB for Fall of 2004? Will this confuse them or can they figure it out.
Listed where on SDN? is there a guide or something?
Is there some kind of a guide on filling out the AMCAS?
There is the 100 page instruction manual, but it leaves out some stuff....so we have sdn for that
Is it the "The Not So Short Introduction To Getting Into Medical School" by Ryan Ayock?
No its called the 2010 AMCAS instructions which you can download off the website directly. It answers probably 99.99999999% of all the questions in this entire thread. Apparently people do not like to read though 😉
It's just warning you to make sure you didn't forget to include a grade for a graded course. That's all.I also have one question:
I entered so AP courses without grade and some future/current courses without the grades. I am getting teh mesage as given below:
"You have entered one or more courses without grades and/or credit hours. Although these fields are not marked with red asterisks, you may be required to enter this information. Please review the application help and your course work to determine if additional data entry is required. Failure to include required grades and credit hours may result in missed deadlines and lost application fees. Please contact an AMCAS Applicant Relations specialist if you have any questions: (202) 828-0600, [email protected]."
Any suggestions?
Hi everyone!
I'm a bit confused about how to enter a world language waiver on my application.
It shows up on my transcript as WL: World Language Waiver 0.00
According to the AMCAS help guide on the app, it definitely says to notate the AP box even though it's not technically an AP. However, I was wondering, what am I supposed to do about the grade since I don't have one?
Do I just write "Tested Out" or P or what?

Will my application be delayed if I don't forward the LORs to AMCAS immediately upon submission?
Your primary application will not be delayed in getting to the schools. LORs are part of your secondary applications and you can add them after you've submitted your primary application. This should all be in the AMCAS help section.Can anyone please help me?

What does AMCAS need before you are able to submit your primary. Like do they have to have your transcripts in and verified before you are allowed to submit?
Thanks!
verification does not require your MCAT score. MCAT score is automatically uploaded and information is sent to medical schools
yep just put a W and check the box
1. I don't know. I'd either call them or just put exactly what it says on the transcript.
2. In the middle of a semester or between semesters(between fall and spring)? I think the former is not cool but the latter is fine. Your class standing can't change during the semester, but you can change between fall and spring.
3. If you got an A you might try to make it a math class to boost your BCPM GPA.
4. You don't need to list it at all, or you can list what you're thinking of taking and change your mind later. Doesn't matter.
Should there be a title for my personal essay?
What if you withdrew from a class and then took it a year later? Should I still include the time I withdrew?
Will anything happen or will it look bad if I make my stats for psychology count as a math and they say no?

I'm sure this has already been answered, but as for the dates in the "course work" section, if I entered college in the Fall of 2005, does this count as the 2006-2007 school year or can I put semester 1, 2005-2006?
Certification (promise I didn't lie) is different from verification (AMCAS compares with transcript).so I know everyone has already said that Letters of Recommendations can be submitted after the primary application is sent. But if we add letters after the submission, is AMCAS going to re-certify? It says on that instruction pdf on page 87-88:
"Make certain that you have thoroughly reviewed your application prior to submitting,
noting that after the initial submission of your application, you can only make
changes to the following sections:
Required and Alternate IDs
Name, including Full Legal Name, Preferred Name and Alternate Names.
Contact Information including Permanent and Preferred Mailing Addresses
Alternate Contact Information.
Date of Birth and Sex.
Letters of Evaluation (only additions of up to 10 letters - and notifying AMCAS
of a letter no longer being sent)
Next MCAT
You must re-certify and re-submit your application each time you make a change
after initial submission."
I've been convicted of a misdameanor (I do not want to disclose here what it was) and after marking yes there is a box to explain it in 1300 characters. Besides what, where, when, the sentence I received ( this will take only about two sentences) should I include any more information. I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses.
If you click on "details" next to "status" on the main menu screen, you can see your transcript status (received/not received).

For my application, I see my various GPA's with BCPM and Total. But what is AO?
Should I include a volunteering thing I just started yesterday (I'll be doing it throughout the summer)?

Why does AMCAS list your activities in a random order? I kind of wanted to put research, shadowing etc., each in order
