I normally attend College X, and for one summer I decided to take Physics at College Y. A day after the midterm I dropped the course at College Y (I was a visiting student at College Y. This was the only time I ever took a course at College Y).
Anyways, turns out the policy for withdrawals at College Y is very stringent, and apparently dropping a course the day after the midterm was not soon enough and a W was listed. I am now applying to Medical School, and REALLY want to avoid sending and spending the money to send a single transcript with a W (so no credit received) to each of the 35 medical schools I apply to. Its financially ridiculous, and also unnecessary. I spoke to AMCAS, and they said that this W from College Y must be reported to AMCAS, and the only way to go around this is by appealing to College Y for them to remove the W off my transcript. (Then I would have no record from College Y). I actually appealed to College Y to do this, but I have been unsuccessful but plan to continue trying.
-How much is it to send each transcript to medical school?
-Is AMCAS really telling the truth? I really have to report a single W to them from a school I was a visiting student at? If I do not include it, they will notify me, type of thing?
I am trying my best to appeal to delete the W but I don't know that it will happen. I just think its going to be so much money for me to send it to each school, and for what? A single W? Thats nuts.
