I am a reapplicant and I am having a hard time entering new class that I took last semester. Under College Term, I can't choose institution. It says You must first complete the institutions Attended section. And under College Attended, all the information are there... anyone has solution to this?
Also, I can't request for transcript request form at the moment...
 
How did you all sign the transcript request forms? Did you print them, sign, and sent them to the registrar as hard copies, or did you do an electronic signature?
 
I cannot access the course designation sheet that classifies your classes! Does anyone have this or know where I can get it? I am currently getting an error page...

That's because you have to enter the college again in the college attended section, yes you put the same information and it will appear twice, but this was a note when you began the reapplication process, then you should be able to get a request form and it will appear in the choose institution drop down

I printed, signed, scanned, and then sent to the registrar as a PDF
 
For the special designation for the class entry... I have taken classes through the honors college that have the course prefix: HON.

Should I designate these as "honors", or is that more for universities that offer classes like "General Biology - Honors"?

If it is a biology course, designate it as biology.

All of my science classes were taken through their respective university department, but I am talking about my general education requirements. I took all of my general education classes through the honors college.

I remember that the courses are categorized as biology, chemistry, math, non-science and stuff. So just classify those classes based on that.

I recommend you obtain an official transcript and input it as it is in the transcript.
 
Thank youGBP12 !

Just to double check here... since I ADEA already has my official transcripts from previous year, I do NOT have to send in another transcript unless I took additional course from that institution. At least, that is my understanding.
 
I just have to put the date i took the DAT and nothing else?

Does anyone know where to get the matching forms for Interfolio? I'm looking under the "Evaluators" section and can't find it.
 
For planned coursework, should I just list the classes that are currently only on my transcript?

My fall schedule is not yet complete, as I have to fill out paperwork and get off the wait list for some classes. I am not 'officially' enrolled yet.
 
I applied to Howard last cycle and I received no response... no interview invite, no rejected letter... nothing. I know they have lower stats compare to other school and I am from different state. Since my oGPA is 3.35 and sGPA is 3.05 with DAT AA 20. Should I go ahead and add this school for next upcoming cycle again?

If you're not an URM, then no.
 
I don't quite understand what the following sentence is asking for: "Evaluator's School/Institution/Business"
Do they want the department and university of the person thats writing my LoE?
 
Im sure this has been asked but I cant find a definitive answer in the forums. My grades gave not been finalized for the FALL/Winter 2015/2016 year and I know I should wait until they are, and then ask for my transcripts . However, do I submit my application now and send them my transcripts when they are finalized (end of june) or do I NOT submit until grades are finalized and I ask for transcript?

Thanks!

Wait for the grades.
 
For the transcript where it says dates attended can i put 08/2012 to 07/2015 or does it have to be more specific?
 
When I paste my personal statement into my application... the formatting of the paragraphs is no longer there (the indents for each paragraph disappear and I cannot reinsert them) What should I do....?
 
All my transcript course names are capitalized. So would I capitalize it on the app? lol...

Also I have a spanish course called "CONT SPANISH" abbreviated. It's really Continuing Spanish. I called them about this and the lady said they are not stringent on course names. If it's abbreviated you can fully write out the name. But now I'm reading that people are saying you HAVE to write it how it appears on your transcript. The lady says they only send transcripts back if you mess up with the course designations/credits/grades.

I already answered your question, the same question, in a different thread.

I personally copied and pasted the title exactly from the unofficial transcript

That's how it is.
 
I have AP credit from college board but I don't think I ever transferred the scores to schools. Do I have to transfer them then report them or can I just not bother to mention anything about AP since no colleges have them?

Also, transfer credit from other universities requires me to list coursework via the original location where I took the classes (and their respective terms) rather than just send in the main transcript from where I attend school (containing all my transfer credit on my main transcript), right?

I'm inputing grades right now but not sure what they mean:
"CONVERT the grade on your transcript to the correct standardized letter grade. Check the grading scheme on your transcript to determine the equivalent letter grade. If a non-graded course (e.g., Pass/Fail), select None"

So if I have a B- on transcript they want me to input B on "ADEA AADSAS Grade" ????

Or is it for colleges that don't give out letter grades?

Put B-

If they're good grades, I'd wait. Otherwise, just input only what is on your transcript that you send and then use the academic update in Nov if necessary
 
For the transcript request form, do you put your degree title only if you have already earned it or can you put the title and expected in parenthesis?

I'm entering my coursework and I have a question about AP/transfer credits. On my transcript, there's a section specifically for transfer credit. My university puts the credit received from AP tests there (in my case, 9 English credits and 4 Math credits) but they don't list it as AP. It lists it as transfer credit.

I don't want to list the credits as AP since that's not what it says on my transcript, but I don't have another institution to select to imply that they're transfer credits. I hope this makes sense. How would I list these classes?

Enter them exactly as they are on your transcript.

If it's not on your transcript and you never got credit for it, you can not bother to mention them. Then it's just like a high school class.

Yes, if you transferred credit from another university (exception might be study abroad, I'm not sure about that) then you have to send all transcripts
 
For the Transcript Request Form, what do I put under "Degree (if applicable)"?? The degree that I will earn once I graduate? Or do I not include anything if I have not earned it yet?

And for "Dates of Attendance" part, can I just include start month and year? Or I have to include the specific date of the month?

Thank you for your responses
I know my grades already (and I need them on my app bc they are pre reqs) and have already inputted them in the app. I just cannot ask for a transcript until they finished their adminitstrative stuff at my universty so, should I e-submit now and send my transcripts when they are ready (end of june) or should i not esubmit and submit at the end of june when I can request my transcript?? Thank you

I understand. Hmmm I think you'd want to time it to where your transcripts arrive by the time AADSAS can look over you. If your transcripts are not there, then there's nothing to verify. I'd wait a week or 2 if I were you.

I want to say put the degree you will earn. I'm assuming you can put like "Spring 2017" somewhere. You are taking your courses for a bachelor's degree and not just a post-bac non-degree track.
I just guestimated a day for the dates. You can probably find your university's old calendars.

Yes. If your Dentpin is entered and you have the date, the DAT should upload

Is this the same for reapplicants took the DAT last year? my DAT scores have not shown up on my reapplication like all my other info, or does this take a couple days?

Not sure. I think you only have one dentpin. It might take time for all the DAT scores to get in. I think that's a section you're allowed to update after submitting, though, so I wouldn't worry about it
 
When Typing Awards, honors, scholarships... If i wanted to mention deans list do I mention it multiple times (different semesters) or just once ? also what info would i put for "sponsoring organization
 
For course title, should I stick to the abbreviations written on my transcript or the full title?
 
I had a more specific question: I took Bio 2 at my primary institution but received a C- so I retook it at a local college, but their equivalent in terms of what was taught was bio 1

So on my app can I just lost it as bio 2 again?
 
Does anyone know if we can still use Interfolio for this year's application cycle? I heard that they are changing it this year where you can't use Interfolio to upload the LOR, rather they will email the teacher and the teacher will have to upload the letter along with a brief questionnaire about the applicant.

I am just wondering if this is true or if we can still use Interfolio to upload the LOR if the teachers have already uploaded on that website?
