Hello!

I have questions on the AADSAS course work section.

During my first year of college, I took 2 semesters of ESL courses and did horrible (D and C). Some how when I took my actually English courses at UCSD 2 years later I got straight As.

I know that I have to list every single courses I have took, but does ESL courses counted into AADSAS GPA? I didn't get any college credits from the ESL course not even at community college..

Another question is that I took Nutrition at UCSD, which was taught under biology department and it's a upper division biochemistry course. I know that on the instruction it says that Nutrition goes to "other science" section instead of "biology", but in my opinion, it was a biology course..

Does anybody know????

HELP!!!!!

rule of thumb, if you never get the credits at your undergra instituation, then you don't need to put it on AADSAS.
if the course is under the bio department, then you put it under bio, if it is put under biochem departm. at your school, then put it under chem. you just categorize your courses by school departments, it is just that easy.

Hi,

I graduated from UCSD and applying this year as well. If I assumed correctly, you are talking about Subject A classes from San Diego Mesa College held at UCSD.

This is an interesting case for me too because I had the same problem. So, in theory, you took classes from San Diego Mesa College and NOT UCSD, so you are correct about not listing it under UCSD courses.

HOWEVER, your two grades are on San Diego Mesa College transcript. So, according to AADSAS, you are supposed to list all college attended. In this case, Mesa needs to be listed as another college. You need to order both transcripts and send them to AADSAS.

I understand your frustrations but that's just how it is. UCSD was ambiguous right from the beginning.

Hope this makes sense.
