While filling in AMCAS application, it says that for all courses done at foreign institutions transcript exception need to be requested. But again it says that individual schools may request for foreign transcript in their secondary application.

Did any of you get into a situation where you were asked for foreign transcript at secondary application.

Thanks

Even if it's not on a Secondary, schools may ask for foreign transcripts. Generally it should be expected that a transcript translation service interpretation needs to be provided, so the courses taken and grades earned will be expressed in US equivalencies.

Also, don't bother to fill in the current (2019) AMCAS application, if that's what you're doing, as it won't carry over to next year's 2020 application, which won't be open until May 2019.

I did my undergrad in Australia. Once my primary was sent, I contacted each school directly and asked them whether they wanted a copy of my original transcript, WES evaluation, or both. Every school is different, and each wanted different things.

All the prerequisites(BCPM ) courses were done here in USA. Do schools want to look for course work outside of prerequisites

did you complete all the prereqs here in usa. I did 3 1/2 years of schooling with all prereqs done here in usa.

1) Some schools will accept foreign prereqs
2) whether or not a school accepts them, it will still want to see all coursework, both prereq and other. A med school may consider your entire record when you are an applicant

hmug,

I have few questions for you.

Did you complete your entire undergrad in australia or Did you transfer your credits to US university.
Did you have to do any course work done in US. In the secondary application was there a prompt for you submit your foreign transcripts or you submitted them by your own.

Please let me know

Please let me know

1. I completed my entire undergrad in Australia. No credit transfer
2. I did a year of non-matriculated coursework in Physics and O Chem in the US
3. No prompt. I e-mailed each admissions office to ask them if they'd like the transcript or evaluation and if so, where to send it

Were there any schools that told you that submission of foreign transcripts was not necessary?

Most schools didn't want my foreign transcripts, but if you get a secondary/II/A from a school at some point in the process they will definitely want your foreign grade evaluation.
