I took quite a few honors classes, but on my transcript some say "honors" after the course name, some have been designated "HSS", and one (my principles of biology course) has nothing that specifies it was honors on my transcript but it was indeed an honors class. My online transcript lists this biology class as honors and completed under the honors college (the online transcript looks completely different and places courses under categories and stuff), but it is NOT on the paper transcript.. When identifying this coursework, do I still list it as an "honors" course? I would be really mad if I couldn't because it really was!

ONE MORE.. I studied abroad for two summers.. they were "faculty led" meaning that a professor from our school took us overseas... however on the transcript it doesn't specify that the class was taken abroad (however, one of the 3 classes says the city in the UK that I went to)....... I didn't get a grade from the overseas institution.. I was given grades only on MY institutions transcript because it was faculty led and grades are just given under my school..... WHAT DO I DO? I don't want ADSAAS to postpone my app or anything...
 
there is a scroll down box for each class that you can use to mark it as honors or study abroad. as far as the grades for study abroad, if your institution gave you a grade on your transcript, that is all you need to list.

yeah well I don't want to mark it as honors or study abroad if they aren't going to believe me.. its going to hold up everything b/c the transcripts won't get verified if theres a discrepancy.. i already knew that there was a scroll down box to mark it lol.. I just need to know if I will be OK to mark these things as honors and study abroad.. does anyone understand my situation?
 
sorry if i misunderstood you at first. i originally forgot that there was a drop-box to mark it, so i was thinking you wanted to write in honors by the course title.

but, why would it not be okay to mark honors and study abroad classes as honors and study abroad classes? they didn't make specific categories to mark classes as that just to screw with you for using them. they also wouldn't need a separate box to mark the class if every transcript marked the classes already.

this isn't airport security, they're not out to bend you over, especially about class details that don't even particularly matter. if they feel there is a discrepancy they will change it, it won't hold anything up.
