Members don't see this ad.

because of incorrect course work or whatever, and you fix the issue... do you go back in line all the way to the end?? or do you start where you were in line.

🙁

I'd imagine start at the back of the line...

for some reason my courses are out of order........................


like the semester to semester is fine. but within a semester they are in a different order than my transcript shows. I feel like it should be okay, but I could just as easily be Fkjdsaf . thoughts?

It depends why they sent it back, I guess?

On my application, I had chosen the semester system and that I took mini-semester courses. They changed every, single class to the 4-1-4 system, because apparently that's what my school uses. They didn't send mine back. I just have an "X" by every class.

I would just fix what they said needed correcting.

It should be good but still prepare yourself for what might come your way.

 

[hoihaie]

you restart from the beginnign i believe

 

[Medschoolornah]

Damn man. I'm worried like hell.


Hopefully it's okay.

If not hopefully they fix it and dont send back.

If not hopefully they send back and review it back in line


But if none of those then 🙁

oops didn't realize that could be an issue. Ugh why don't they make it easy to reorder classes instead of having to re-add them. The AAMC's web team is the worst.

You have to restart premed as a freshman in college.

Lmao. I wouldn't be mad honestly. College was fun 🙂

How the hell do you even reorder the courses?? I put my AP courses after my 1st quarter freshman courses (still within first quarter freshman year).

Exactly. It would be more work not putting them in order.

I put them in order. I'm 100% sure. But then when I checked later they were scrambled within each semester. But I didn't fix it. I should have.

This happened to me, since my printed transcript course order didn't match the online transcript that I was using to fill out my AMCAS. My application wasn't sent back. As long as the correct course is assigned the correct semester, you're totally fine.

The orders in which courses are listed on the transcript within a specific semester do not matter. As long as you didn't put Biochemistry you took as a freshman in Fall 2012 slot in your junior Fall 2014 slot you're fine. I'm not sure if I'm making sense in my post, but I hope you didn't switch a bunch of courses from one semester to a different semester.

The title of this thread catapulted me into a panic lol I didn't even know AMCAS could send your application back!

 

[heebeejeebies]

My transcript doesn't even order courses by semester... they're ordered alphabetically by course code for that year regardless of semester and coded by a letter A/B for semester

Damn. This will suck.

Same thing happened to my brother 2 cycles ago. He is now an M1. No one said a word about the semester versus term correction. No worries.

Don't be too worried! They don't send back applications that often, it's only if a person makes multiple significant errors. I view it as the AMCAS reviewers saying: "If you were trying to do it right and made a mistake or two, we'll fix it for you. If you threw your application together and expect us to tie up the loose ends, we're not doing that."

I did the same thing and got verified. I didn't even know it was a rule that you had to have them in the right order as they show upon the transcripts. As long as you have them all in the right semester you should be fine.
