When listing your courses in the Course Work section of the AMCAS, it says something about "Failure to include required grades and credit hours may result in missed deadlines and lost application fees."

What do I do with AP courses (i.e., high school AP) and future courses that I will be taking in my upcoming senior year? Just leave the grade field blank?

I just put whatever it said on my transcript. For my school (UNC), all AP credits were listed as "BE". I just copied this over to what I wrote on amcas and made sure to check the AP box.

I get the same exact message and I put all of my grades down. For AP courses i just put PASS for the grade. For future/current classes they don't require a grade, or do they? I don't know what I am missing. 😕

You don't need grades for future courses. Just list the courses. You don't even need to stick to the classes you list. AMCAS only verifies classes on your transcripts.

I am pretty sure you don't put a grade for AP courses. You received no grade. The same goes for study abroad credits that show up on your transcript as transfer credit. You leave the grade blank. Unless you submit a transcript from the other university, leave it blank, and AMCAS doesn't care about non-US universities anyway. Pretty much, carbon copy your transcript into AMCAS, any discrepancies will raise flags.

By don't put grade, i mean leave it blank. Unless you Pass/Fail a class or get a letter grade, then leave it blank.

My transcript doesn't list each AP credit individually, rather it just says TOTAL AP CREDITS = # units. How should I list out each AP?

Just put in your best guess. They don't hold you to what you put for future classes, but if you list nothing, it may look like you're planning to graduate early or something.

ok, this is an OBVIOUS answer but to double check, under special course types i would put "current/future" and leave the grade blank?

From page 13 of the AMCAS manual:

"G Used to indicate AP credit not assigned a letter grade"

This is also what my premed advisor instructed me to do.

I did everything suggested...still have that annoying red message. Did anybody get rid of it?

are "AP" Advanced placement classes taken in high school? I took AP Bio, History, blah blah blah..........do these need to be included in AMCAS? If so, how? should grades be listed (but college transcript only lists credits)

Pretty much...but you also must have taken the AP exams and passed them

Somewhere in the manual it says that if the name doesn't appear you should put "AP Credit: English" subsitute "English for any other AP course you might have taken. Also, it is my understanding that we do not put G for our grade on the transcript. Isn't G the grade AMCAS assigns after we have been verified since on the transcript there is no grade? That part of the coursework section is real confusing.
