Hi, all,
I'm applying for Fall 2009 this spring. I have a few questions that I'm hoping you can answer! I'm having trouble finding anything on the AMCAS website. It's not very helpful. I signed up for 2008 just to look at the application, and it's still not very informative.
1. If I haven't taken a required course yet, is there a place on the application to say that I WILL take it? For example, when I took my 2 chemistry courses, the second one didn't have a lab. I need to run down to the community college and take it, but it will be this summer before I can.
2. Is the application picky about course titles? When I took my physics courses for my engineering degree, the classes were taught from the physics department, but were titled "Engineering Physics". The only difference between "Engineering Physics" and "Physics" was that "Engineering Physics" was calculus-based. How do they handle that?
3. If my name has changed since I did my under-grad (marriage) is that going to be a big paperwork hang up?
4. I want to submit my application by July 1 for EDP. But, I can't take the MCAT until May 27. If I don't have the score back yet, can I submit it? Also, if I press "submit" by July 1, does that count for my school's deadline, or is there a verification process that holds it up? How long does that take?
Thanks!
