I'm a reapplicant and I was wondering if I should just pay the 65 dollars for the professional transcript entry. I didn't enter my AP courses last year and this year they're requiring it and I'm really stuck on how to enter them. On last year's application the AP courses were all clumped together as 30 credits total and the same with my transcript. However this year they want to list each AP credit separately and I don't quite know how to do it. Any opinions? Thanks
 
no definitely not worth it! just ask SDN what questions you have. it's pretty straightforward just time consuming
where do ur AP credits appear or transcripts? usually they'll be listed your freshman year first semester (mine were). you don't get a grade for undergraduate but you'll get them for credit. so instead of a grade I put CR (keep them the same as your undergrad transcripts)
when you finish adding classes to ur transcripts, you'll have to "review transcripts"; there they'll specifically ask you to select which classes that you input were taken as AP. I had 3 AP classes so when I was asked that question I checked the 3 courses. It's that simple.

Hope that helps
 
On my transcript the AP credits are listed under a transfer credit section and it just says:

Transfer Credit from Credit by Advance Placement (AP)
Semester Transfer Totals: 30.000
 
oh it clumps them all together? there was someone else who had them like that. I don't actually know what you would do but my recommendation is to keep it under the same name and put 30 credits, CR in the transcripts. The section probably doesn't matter at all...it can probably be special topics or biology, or whatever. Schools won't ask for your high school transcripts and to be honest they probably don't care specifically care what AP courses you took in high school.
maybe someone else who was in ur position can give you a better answer

btw...you took a lot of AP classes in high shcool (I only took 11 credits of AP)
 
Thanks for the help.
I checked my ADEA ADSAS application last year and it was listed as 2 identical chunks that look like this

ADVANCED PLACEMENT - AP, Non Science, Advanced Placement/ CLEP
GRADE: CR
ADEA ADSAS grade: None
Credits: 15.00
 
I'd put it in as close to that. This year is a little different. But I really don't think it matters what cateogry it falls under...it's just AP credit. I assume you don't use any of the AP classes to fulfill reqs at dental school.
 
Mine were also bulk under a "transfer" semester, but if you watch the help video on the transcript entry page, it answers this.

Put it in your first semester, CR as grade, mark it as AP once you start verifying later. It says that you can list them as separate classes as long as the credit hours add up to your 30 credits listed on the transcript. I found out which classes from my school the APs replaced (like APES was Environmental Science 110 or whatever, but obviously this course number would be different for each school. Might be on your unofficial transcript or registrar might know) and AADSAS verified my transcript with no problems.

You probably could list them as bulk if you wanted- I personally didn't because actually some schools accept AP Lang/Comp and Lit as a prereq- but you might want to call AADSAS for specifics... I haven't seen anyone here say they listed it bulk so idk if you would get much help from us for that.
 
@krentist is right. you should list them individually if you can.
I am using AP Calc to get out of math req for a few schools. If i listed my AP credits a bulk, schools couldn't see my math credit
