Hi guys, I know there is a academic update period in November, but I wonder what kinds of information that we can update during this period.

I had to change my timetable a bit in the beginning of this semester because there were no spots available for me to get in for few courses. What I did is moving 2 pre-req courses (the same courses listed on the application) to the spring semester.
Because of this, I ended up taking fewer courses this semester and more courses next semester than I listed on the application (I listed 4 classes this semester, and 4 next; but I am now taking 2 class and 6 next semester).

Can I make this update on the AADSAS application during November academic update period? or are we only allowed to update marks/grades?

Also, making these particular changes (especially moving pre-req courses to the next semester) would affect my chance? I heard that even acceptance can be rescind if an applicant dropped the planned courses.

Many thanks in advance🙂

you can change anything you want in regards to academia during the AU. u can add courses, remove/erase courses, add grades, add institutions etc. but only for the courses that u ilsted as "planned/in progresss" you cant change (clearly) courses already confirmed by aadsas. u cant change extracurriculars/volunteer/work etc during au. only academics.
imo, yes it will be worrysome to dental schools that u have moved prereqs to the spring semester as some schools probably were waiting for u to complete them in the fall. but as long as u have prereqs completed b4 matriculation to ds if u get accepted, u should be fine. theres nothing u can do now, were mid semester already 😉
also imo, how would u even be accepted to ds on dec1st if u have 2 missing prereqs? which schools willl see ure missing once u AU in november......i wouldnt call that rescinding an offer. maybe postponing it?....or not being offered one
 
does anyone know if we HAVE to update our fall semester grades? I'm doing pretty bad. Possibly C in pchem..
