Primary Submission Error

Members don't see this ad.

I was doing amcas on safari and I'm not sure it was a glitch or something at the time but It wasn't letting me click anything except advanced or fluent for the languages section so my 2 languages besides English-Arabic and Spanish were locked in as advanced and I put it as a placeholder to revise but I ended up forgetting about it. I called amcas and this is a minor error but obviously don't want to make it seem like l'm lying on my application. They said they can't change it but advised I could potentially tell the school. Where would i do that?


Would I send an email along with secondaries or put it on the application itself if there's an additional information section

That is such a small portion of the application that is also very subjective that I wouldn't worry about it. If any schools asks about it in your interview just say you took up to Spanish IV or whatever level you made it to, discuss you're still actively learning it, and hope to continue applying it within the medical field. Unless your speaking level is beginner it should be no problem.

Yea I would say beginner to intermediate in Spanish but definetly beginner in Arabic. That’s why I wanted to clarify that regardless. Would I send an email to my schools when I submit secondaries or use a particular section of the secondary application to tell them this.

Just send an email after submitting the secondary directly to admissions or through their admissions portal (some schools hate getting emails so check first which they prefer). For some schools you will only have 150 words to answer their secondary prompt so no reason to waste any of those saying "btw, AMCAS glitched and wouldn't let me submit anything lower than advanced in my language section. I am actually..."
