Help! about very murky high school transcript situation

[LordDerpulus]

Hello everybody,

I'm in a bit of a weird position. After digging into all the ways my cycle could go wrong, I have only recently remembered that in freshman year high school I took high school-level courses from Brigham Young University's online Independent Study program.

These courses were all high school-level, neither AP classes nor college classes, and gave me credit (high school geometry and year 2 french) for corresponding high school-level courses at the high school I received my diploma from.

In my research, I requested my own transcript from BYU and found out that there are two separate transcript systems for middle/high-school courses vs university courses. Nothing showed up for me when I tried to request a university transcript but these classes showed up when I requested a middle/high school transcript.

You can see the two different types of transcripts here: https://is.byu.edu/transcripts

The official transcript I sent myself explicitly says this on the top: "Brigham Young University Independent Study High School"

Making things confusing, BYU's online independent study's university and secondary education programs are accredited differently as seen here: https://is.byu.edu/about/accreditation-approvals

Should I have sent in this transcript to AMCAS? What should I do next? The AMCAS guide specifically said not to send high school transcripts but the organization this is from is arguably a university? or not ... since it seems like the program I took the courses under was technically an accredited high school? Does accreditation even matter?

I worry that if I call AMCAS directly, they may give me wrong information or not know what to properly do for this situation given that I can't find any other case of this on the internet with any kind of resolution or follow-up.

To clarify, I have already sent my app, gotten it verified by AMCAS, and have received II and A's

Don't send your high school transcripts, the instructions are pretty clear.

If it's not a college transcript don't send it

Relax.

You got high school credit, not college credit, right? Schools generally don't care about high school transcripts or credits.

Also, the folks at AMCAS gets paid to get you the right answers. That's why you send them money for processing your application.

If you have to act on your question, ask the schools that sent you offers.

After examining my high school transcript from the school I graduated from, they don't show up on there, but they did fulfill prerequisite course requirements for my other high school courses.

Taking Geometry with BYU Independent Study in lieu of taking Geometry at my high school allowed me to take Algebra 2 at my high school, which requires Geometry as a prerequisite, though Geometry from BYU is not reflected in the transcript from the high school I graduated from.

I assume this changes nothing regarding what everyone has said? Thank you all for the help.

Yeah, I think you're fine. If this were an issue, I would trust AMCAS to have let you know earlier on. It definitely makes sense given you were fulfilling high school graduation requirementns.
