Question... When entering grades into AMCAS

Just wondering when entering in grades if the correct way to enter them is to put the plus and minuses as they are?

 

[monkeymeg2]

yep. enter them exactly as they are on your transcripts. I think the only thing AMCAS doesn't count is A+ grades

Yes. Enter grades exactly as they appear on your transcript.

Did you guys enter future courses? I have a good idea of what classes I'll be taking to finish up my undergrad degree, so should I list them? Thanks.

Go ahead and list them. Especially if there are BCPM courses in there. I listed a few courses I have no intention of taking (biochem, calculus, genetics) just in case one of my reach schools that requires them actually interviews me.

What would be the purpose of this and won't that get you into trouble later?

kinda obvious question, but I have to ask: do I have to convert my credit hours or anything to semester manually (I go to a quarter system school?) I was under the impression that you enter everything exactly like on your transcript and AAMCAS does the conversion thingy for you.

and on a related note, how does one deal w/ credit/non credit classes?
thanks!

i believe the purpose is to take said classes if he gets an interview/acceptance.

Hey all,

Sorry I haven't looked through this entire thread to figure this out, but when entering courses should we enter only the course number like 115 or the full name Bisc-115?

Thank you for your time

You enter the letters (usually 4 letter code) and numbers (usually 3 numbers). For example, if I took Chemistry 120, I would enter CHEM 120.

I've been stressing out about this for 2 years now. But in my first semester of second year, I did Cal I, thinking I was going to do well in it. I had previously done Cal II in my first semester of first year and got an A in it.

But, it escaped my clueless mind that since I had an AP credit (4/5) already for Math I wouldn't get the credits for that Cal I.

So, now...I only have 11 credits for that semester even though I was supposed to have 14. Oh, and I ended up getting only B- in Cal I. But on my transcript, that mark didn't count, but it still shows up that I have taken the course along with my mark for the course. That mark just didn't count towards my GPA.

How do I enter something like that onto AAMC? How can I explain my situation?😕
