For entering the coursework on the app, I know it says to enter the coursework exactly how it appears on your transcript, however some of my course titles are really weird for example: "Chemical Struc." this would be like gchem 1, will aadsas adjust the names later to be sent to dental schools or do they already know what the course is. etc?
 
i've run into a question about entering course titles...

so the general instructions are to enter it exactly as it appears on your transcript.

has anyone ever found out for certain if this holds even when your course titles are severely cut off or shortened the way it's written on your transcript?

for example, one of my courses is listed as "CONCEPTS IN NEW M" with a course prefix of "M AR203". the full title for this course is actually "Concepts in New Media" and it's a Media Arts course. and there are lots of courses like this example on my transcript.

if i entered these course into aadsas exactly as it appeared on my transcript, how would anyone figure out what these courses even was if it was important for them to evaluate?
 
I think they do it to compare it to your transcript...schools might be able to figure it out by prefix, i'm sure they see a ton of different ones a year
 
When I applied, I had lot of abbreviations and cut off words that you'd probably not get like,

PVNT = Prevention
LING = Linguistics
ACAD = Academics
SOCL = Socialization

I was an education major and my courses had some funky titles. I wrote them as is on my transcript. No school had any issues and AADSAS didn't have any problems.
 
my transcript shows my AP credit from high school as transfer credit. I obviously don't have a transcript for the AP stuff. And my trascript doesn't break it down into each test, so it just shows like 40 credits. It's like this:

Transfer Credit Accepted by the Institution:

Fall 2004 Advanced Placement
Ehrs: 40.00 GPA 0.0

That's it. Anyways what shoud I do?
