Ok so I took two years at one undergrad school before transferring to another. I have my official transcripts from the first school (School A) sent to AMCAS, and have of course entered all that course information into my online AMCAS.

Now, on my second school's transcripts (School B), before listing all the coursework I completed there, they list my credits that transferred from my first school, basically listing School B's equivalents of School A's classes.

Am I supposed to list those course equivalents all over again? Some don't even have straight equivalents, but rather just fall into random categories with no course number, just a department number (i.e. "Math).

An example:

My calculus class taken at School A.
School A Transcripts: Math 201 - Calculus I
School B Transcripts: MATH 140 - CALC ANLY GEOM I



Am I supposed to list 56 credits worth of courses a SECOND TIME in my AMCAS for School B, when I didn't take these classes at School B???

Very confused.
 
Nope, don't list your first school credits under your second school. I had the same situation.

Wow thanks for the quick response!

So did you talk to AMCAS about that to figure it out? Just wondering. I figured I shouldn't have to list them twice, but you never know, since people always say "enter everything exactly as it is on your official transcripts."

I just don't want them to get my AMCAS, and see anything missing that appears on my School B transcripts.
 
It's on the help menu under Course Work. I had to do a lot of sleuthing because the transfer thing created a few weird situations, so you can pm me if you have any other questions.
