Hey everyone,

I submitted on June 25th and received an email today saying that there was a mistake in my entered coursework. Turns out I entered "COM 006" instead of "COM 005" (QUADRUPLE check your apps before submitting, people!!!!) I'm wondering if anyone has been in this same situation before, and how long it took for GPA verification following re-submission with the correct coursework? I'm hoping it won't delay the process too much.

Thanks!

Edit: I just called AADSAS and they said that if this happens to you, you aren't pushed to the back of the line of applicants. You are just pushed to the back of the line of applicants who also had to re-submit with corrections and it shouldn't take >1 week. In another thread someone said that their GPA was verified the same day they re-submitted.

And, apparently the reason they sent it back to me was not for the minor error, it was because on my official transcript the subject codes are different than they are on my unofficial transcript (e.g. CHE --> CHEM; COM --> COMPLIT). So I had to hunt down the transcript subject codes for my school and change all of them!

I'm so sorry that your application has been pushed back. Hope it will get verify soon.
But I heard that it would be better to obtain an official transcript from school, and use it to input the coursework. I used my school unofficial transcript to input, then too worry so I paid 30$ to get the official transcript and double check and there were subject codes and things that different, and I caught it before I submit the app.
 
Oddly enough, the first time I applied, I had no problem using the unofficial transcript abbreviations
