what if im not 100% positive that im going to be taking the courses im registered for in the fall? should i or should i not list them on aadsas?
will it look reallly bad to schools if i list them and end up not taking the course?
 
It matters more on the science classes you plan on taking. If you say you are going to take Biochemistry this fall and don't take it, and you get an acceptance at a school then your acceptance could be at jeopardy because they evaluated their decision based off your information on AADSAS and simply not taking that class (even if they DONT require it) gives them enough reason to revoke your acceptance.
Thus I would be very particular with what you put down in your planned coursework. If you say your going to take biochem, stick with it. However, if you don't end up taking that class make sure that you call the school and let them note that on your application that you planned on taking it but didn't.

If you are referring to a class like geography, psychology, etc etc they probably don't care.
 
I had this issue last year. As always, always inform the school of any changes as soon as possible. From my experience, as long as it's not a prereq, they won't care. They may care if it's a prereq because they're concerned about you completing them in time. You should be fine either way though. There are always people who finish up a prereq in their last semester or two.

Hey so if I am applying to like ten schools and I have alreadydone the prerequisite classes for 9 of them and say the tenth requires microbio and I haven't taken it. If I don't get accepted to that school or get an interview then I wouldn't take that course. If I don't include will that school not even give me an interview. Do you think the other schools will care if I put it down and don't do it?

Also, all I know is that I'm taking 6 psychology courses next year, and 3 random other classes (that's all I need to grad). Since I can't register for classes yet for next year I don't know what they would be. I just know that one of the psychologies must be sensation and perception... What do I put down?


Ps I know I probably should take microbio but it would be a huge disruption to my schedule...
