Odd questions about transcripts

I have a quick question. I took a class just for fun at a technical school one summer and I don't want to count the class on my application (nor do I think they would care about the course). Do I still need transcripts from that school if I don't want to take any credit for the course on my application? I don't plan on listing it at all unless it is required.

Thanks!

From what I understand re: AMCAS' transcript requirements, you MUST submit every single college class you have ever attended/sat for/earned credit for/flunked/aced etc.

I have attended, in total, 4 universities. I will need to send AMCAS all four transcripts. I cannot be picky and leave out extension classes, one bad grad class in fundraising, the A I got in one online course, etc. If you think about it, if we were allowed to cherry pick our best grades, whether relevant to medicine, or not, how could the ad coms really get an accurate and full picture? This is why, in part, I think AMCAS and all your schools indeed require you to submit it all.

Hope this helps! And good luck!

Fair enough. I hope they enjoy my poor grade in french literature. Why did I think that sounded like fun?!

Thanks!

One class won't be a killer, I would just focus on what's ahead. As far as French Lit, yeah, I hear ya loud and clear! 😉
