Do we need to put AP and CLEP credit on our AMCAS application? If so, for course number/credit hours/grade, etc...what do we put?
If we do need to put AP credit on there, I took one of my AP classes in 99-00, and the years for entering course dates start in 2000-01...so what to do?
From the AMCAS 2006 Manual @
http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/2006instructionbook.pdf
To claim AP credit, the credit hours must be listed on your transcript. Include AP credit courses only once (indicating AP under the Course Type heading), even though AP credit for the same subject may have been awarded by more than one institution. AP courses can be assigned under the institution awarding the most credit, but cannot be listed under all the institutions that may have awarded credit. If the transcript from the college awarding AP credit does not list actual course names, enter the subject area for which credit has been earned (e.g., AP Credit: English) as the Course Name.
The following rules will help you determine the appropriate AMCAS School Year for all of your course work (including foreign course work):
Do not assign more than one status to a term.
Once your undergraduate Academic Status (FR, SO, JR, SR) has advanced (e.g., FR to SO), do not assign the previous status (e.g., FR) to subsequently completed course work.
Assign High School (HS) status to college-level courses taken while you were in high school, regardless of the physical location of the college-level course.
Assign Freshman (FR) status to Advanced Placement, Exempt, or CLEP credit awarded when you first entered college.
Junior/Community College courses (e.g., associate degree course work) should usually be listed as FR or SO if you took them before you attended a four-year institution. For attendance longer than two years at the same school, JR status - depending on the number of credits - may be entered.
Assign the upcoming status to summer session courses (e.g., summer courses between your freshman and sophomore years should be assigned Sophomore (SO) status).
Courses for a Bachelor's degree earned in three years should be assigned Freshman (FR), Sophomore (SO), or Senior (SR) statuses.
Courses for a Bachelor's degree earned in more than four years should be assigned statuses of Freshman (FR), Sophomore (SO), Junior (JR), Senior (SR), Senior (SR), etc.
Assign Post Baccalaureate (PB) status to any undergraduate level course work you enrolled in: 􀂃 After receipt of your initial BA/BS degree. 􀂃 While enrolled in a graduate program, if course work is not applied to a graduate degree.
Assign Graduate (GR) status to any professional or graduate-level course work that is not applied to an undergraduate degree.
Do NOT assign Graduate (GR) status to any professional or graduate-level course work applied to an undergraduate degree. Assign appropriate undergraduate status (FR, SO, JR, SR).
