Spring Courses You Ended Up Not Enrolling In

Did any of you end up not enrolling in certain spring courses you listed as planning to take on your VMCAS?

For anyone that has, have you contacted the school that you will be attending in the fall to see what they had to say about this and the fact that they won't be receiving transcripts for those courses? Were they okay with this?

I just emailed someone at Purdue, but now that I've gotten in I can't help but be paranoid.

I called NCSU to tell them I opted to take Animal Nutrition from Rutgers instead of Purdue because I couldn't find a proctor available around my working schedule. They were fine as long as I obtained a C- or higher.

I had/have the opposite problem...

I ended up taking courses I didn't list on VMCAS. I wish there was a way for me to call the schools and be like "By the way..."

I am hoping they look at my transcripts from Fall 08 (which listed Spring courses enrolled) and deduce everything from there...I did write about it on the Supp Apps for schools I thought it would help improve my chances...

There really should be an "Amendment to VMCAS" available in mid-Jan for us to inform the schools about changes and such! haha

Got my question answered, but yeah it would be nice if VMCAS had something like that.

I contacted Ohio about not takin Physiology and Immunology this last quarter and their response was "If you don't need it to satisfy a prerequisite, we don't care if you take it or not". One of the classes was past the W drop date so I also made sure that the ensuing W would not affect me in any way and according to them it won't. I opted to work more hours instead of taking classes so we can save for our move.

I had gotten the exact same response from ohio. Now I just wish the appstatus website would be updated to show that all my pre-reqs are done and my final transcripts are received.

Ohio's appstatus also says that you need to send you degree earned? I will not have earned a degree until after my first year in vet school.
