Transcript exemptions and secondary applications

[afterthought]

I'm requesting a transcript exemption for one semester of coursework at a foreign university that is transferring to my home university as P/F. The AMCAS manual says individual schools may request that transcript as part of their secondary applications. Does anyone know of any specific schools that do this? I'm curious to know if any AMCAS schools will be seeing my grades. (TMDSAS wants the transcript, FYI.)

did you do horribly in class overseas, or do you just not want the hassle of requesting a foreign transcript? I was in a similar situation, and I got the foreign transcript for AMCAS. I was too paranoid that down the line there would be a two-week delay in applying to a school while I waited for a transcript to come from England. (and I did do horribly ... too much beer!)

I'm actually still abroad right now--I anticipate A's and B's (really easy classes). As I think about it, I'm even not sure it'll be an issue for AMCAS because I will probably list the classes as "in progress" since I won't have the grades when I submit.
