Hey everyone. So I know for AMCAS you classify the courses based on your own judgement of the "content" of the course. Is this also true for AACOMAS???? I searched and couldn't find an answer to my question.

yes...they do have very thorough instructions you can download FYI 👍
 
Like I said I searched and I couldn't find an answer. It doesn't mention whether or not if is based on content. So......do I go by Department or Content?????????? Doesn't say which one.

Easy tiger...Im just giving you a source, in case you didn't know.


and like I said, yes. (<-----thats the answer to your original question)

have a good one
 
I downloaded the AACOMAS application instructions and it was pretty helpful in figuring out how to classify each course. I determined my classifications based on my course titles and content.

What classes were you having confusion on?
