Ok that makes sense since I didn't add the P/F for my AP courses because the AMCAS video on how to input APs didn't do it either. My transcript only shows credits and no grade either for APs. I sent my email to Emory admissions to see what my next steps are.
I emailed adcoms about it so will keep you updated! Sucks that it happened on the weekend
Just what you know, you can say when you will graduate & that spring 2025 courses are not determined
They said to just follow the instructions in their FAQ on credit discrepancies!
Most of you who just submitted AMCAS in the last 2 months will not have anything to write here.
Drawing portraits for patients, and working on pediatric illness books, would surely fit into the broad category of experiences in health. Working with elderly may or may not, depending on if it was in a healthcare setting (versus, let's say, leading a book club at the neighborhood senior center).
what if i volunteered at an adult day care for people with memory loss? Not really healthcare but a place dedicated to a specific diagnosis
Probably the Microsoft outage
You should do exactly that, reiterate on what's on your primary.
They are not really that research heavy compared to other top schools like Penn or Yale.
Ah okay, may I ask where you figure out these school focuses? Cuz when I read Emory's mission statement I wasn't able to gleam that:
I think listing it out is fine. I put mine in a more narrative form, like "My first health-related experience was _____ where I learned _______. This inspired me to _________ where I had the opportunity to ____________.... etc." I truly don't think there is a right or wrong way.
Reach out to admissions and see if they will make an exception. If not, you may have to take orgo before matriculation.
Did yours fix itself like @Iron Man23? I paid my fee last night and am waiting for it to sync so I can submit my application.
when you pay the fee, you have the click the "go back to application tab" at the top of your screen after you pay it, otherwise it doesn't go through all the way and isn't processed
I did, so I'm not sure why it isn't working.
did it reload the page maybe? I think there's a "go back" button on the bottom too, that might be the right one to use!!
I paid it last night, so I'm not sure what to do now. I used the "go back" button and am in the portal, but the fee is marked incomplete.
ooh I'm not sure then but I hope you figure it out! maybe it's just slower to update
Thank you! I'm not sure if emailing them would be appropriate or if I should wait. If anyone else had a similar experience, I'm all ears.
I think I did have to use the bottom button to get back so that is likely the right one to use!! for future folks applying 🙂
The bottom button fixed it for me. Annoying that I had to pay twice, gonna have to dispute the first charge now but oh well. If only they didnt have two back buttons, one being on top of the page and in bright blue.
I am in same situation and left #5 blank. I also talked about my gap year job in the health-related question so I felt like a third time discussing it would be overkill.
Clinical research can definitely count as a health related experience IMO
That was my guess too. Thank you!
I just did my most significant one and talked more about how it related to what I wanted to do in the future
The organic chemistry with lab requirement or gen chem?
Gen chem
I don't believe so, they're pretty strict about no substitutions, but you can call the admissions office to double check.
