I'm taking the same course and haven't completed it yet, so I asked VMCAS. They said that you don't need to send in a transcript for any schools for which you haven't completed a course. But put it on there to show that you're in the process of taking it, and once completed, send the transcript directly your designated schools.
Moving to a new state right before application season is super fun! Everyone should give it a try!
Nice job!
I didn't play sports, but was heavily involved in theatre (20+ hours a week normally, and even more on performance weeks), and talked about it a good amount in my application. It was a huge part of my life, a huge commitment, and shaped who I am as a person. I think playing soccer would absolutely be the same!
I dunno, that's what I was told during my prep course back in 2006 or so... probably with Princeton Review. But regardless of whether that is true or not, I absolutely do not believe in ETS's ability to subjectively grade essays in a meaningful way.
That video totally reminded me. I totes lost all respect for essay type standardized testing when I got my AP scores back during high school. The prompt for my US History essay was about how FDR saved the US from the Great Depression. I remember reading the question and thinking, "huh, I thought Kennedy was the depression guy, but thanks for the heads up" and wrote something that sounded nice. I got a 5. I grew up in MA so I had stuff prior to 1776 down pretty good, but anything later than that I was like totally clueless. Like, I honestly couldn't have told you what Vietnam or the Korean wars were about, what years they took place in, or who were presidents at the time.
I completely skipped one of my AP World History essays and also still passed.
I think it was my last AP test of 4 that year, I knew nothing about the topic, and I was just so done.
Combination of AP and IB exams got me 37 credits. It was pretty great. But IB is kind of insane. Pulled more all nighters than I ever did in college.
That was AP Latin for me. Pretty sure one of my classmates wrote his essays in Bengali.
Ugh, WHAT DID THEY TO DO VMCAS? This morning, one of the doctors who's writing a letter for me said she tried submitting it last night. She kept getting an access denied error.
I just went in to add another evaluation request for someone else, and after I clicked "save," nothing happened. So I clicked it again, and still nothing happened. I clicked on the "evaluations" tab to see if it showed there, and I got an error message saying I had reached the maximum number of evaluations (which is not possible - this was my FOURTH), and NONE of my evaluation requests are listed. Just the error message and a "create a new evaluation" button. And of course I tried to go to the main page, and it gave me a 404. Closed the tab and opened the main portal/login page and got a 404.
They did scheduled maintenance yesterday. I should've known that "scheduled maintenance" means "let's f- everything up and give the customer service people something to actually do on Monday."
