Thought I had institutional action for low gpa, but I did not .....

Basically what the title states. A few years back in undergrad, my GPA fell pretty low one semester and I received an email from my university stating I was on academic warning. Fast-forward to the present, I submitted my AMCAS application explaining my so called "IA" and even wrote about it in some of my secondaries.

One of the schools I applied to asks for a dean certification form to be completed on behalf of the university, since I indicated I received an IA. I just received my report back, and it states that I never received an IA for my low GPA. I'm shocked/bummed, and I'm not quite sure what to do.

Should I reach out to the schools that I applied to? Or should I let it be?

No it does not

No biggie. You thought that you'd been cited for a low GPA and you were not. Whew! The bigger problem is when someone says they were cited and made to write an essay and/or take a class due to bad behavior and the dean's letter says they were suspended for a year! Having over reported an IA is not a reason to be concerned.

Academic IA's are a big nothing burger (as long as the big picture is good).

Wow, that's such a relief! Thank you both for your input

As others have mentioned, unless it involves plagiarism or cheating, academic IAs don’t affect an application (though they are usually already baked in to GPA)
