Members do not see this ad.

I have a retroactive add on my transcript. Is that seen as a bad thing when applying to medical school?

I don't see why it would. What was your circumstance?

I wanted to make sure financial aid would cover me for the summer.

?. So you're adding a job to your ECs? I'm not sure what you're adding.

Financial aid is usually a completely separate process that occurs after you'be been accepted, or at least interviewed (for non-rolling schools), and is handled through the FAFSA (with parental info your first year) and the school.

As a heads up, typically financial aid will not cover living expenses in the first 2 summers. YOYO.

No it's a class. It will show on my official transcript that it is an retroactive add.

I don't think med schools will even know about this. I don't think the AMCAS coursework section will mark the class as special or different in any way.

Nice bumping relentlessly as if SDN owes you an answer...
