Postbacc vs. Graduate Coursework AAMCAS

[neuronsandglia]

Hello everyone! I have a burning question. This is pretty much the email I sent to AAMC:

“ I have a question regarding post baccalaureate coursework. Attached is a photo of my transcript indicating that I am taking coursework (after receiving my B.S. degree). I am classified as a non-degree seeking student and I am not earning a degree from this institution.

However, the courses that I am taking are designated as graduate in the institution’s registration system. Since I already earned a B.S. degree, the institution informed me to apply as a graduate student even though I am not pursuing a graduate degree from this institution.

Will this count toward my graduate or post baccalaureate GPA calculation on the AMCAS application when I input my coursework? “

I believe this would be listed as graduate level coursework on amcas, regardless of if you are in a degree program or not, and count towards your graduate GPA.

Assign Graduate (GR) status to any professional or graduate-level coursework that is not applied to an undergraduate degree.

I dont think I’m taking graduate-level classes because both undergrads and grads can take these two courses. I think this highlighted section applies

This will likely be seen as graduate coursework because the level shows up as graduate on your transcript. I did something similar (took courses as a non-degree grad student) and they were all classified at the graduate level.
