I am applying through AMCAS this cycle. In the summer of 2015, I took a pre-college (no credit) summer course at Brown. I wasn't sure how to mark this on my application, so I called AAMC and was told to request a transcript exception because upon inquiry the brown pre-college program does not offer transcripts or keep transcript records. So I submitted my application on May 28th, and then on June 4th I received an email that my app was on hold, and my transcript exception request had been denied. I called AAMC and was told to ask for an official physical letter from Brown describing the situation to be mailed to AAMC. After telling the Brown pre-college program this, they told me because of COVID they will be unable to provide physical letters and could instead send an official email indicating confirmation of participation in the summer course in lieu of a transcript. Anyways, they finally emailed that to AAMC today (June 11th). Any thoughts on how long it will take for AAMC to process this request and proceed to verify my application?
I thought I prepared well this cycle and really did everything I could to check my bases. Any advice on how to handle the situation going forward?
Sorry for the rambling wall of text by the way, I was just trying to accurately reproduce these convoluted last couple of weeks.
