I went to a school that has narrative evaluations rather than grades. They are considered internal communication between profs and students, and it says in the college catalog and on our transcript legend that they are never sent to third parties by the registrar; only the student can request and receive them, then the student can give them to whomever they wish.
I called AMCAS in April about this, talked to a specific rep, who said she would call me back. Well, two weeks ago and still no call back, I called again, and got the same rep, who didn't remember what the heck I was talking about. She tells me that another student from my school has had his transcripts sent directly from the registrar to AMCAS. I say that's impossible.
So I call up this other student, (small school-I know him) and he says the same rep told him that she would make a note in his file that he didn't have to send in the evals directly. In years past, applicants from my school have sent the evals themselves directly to the schools, bypassing the massive delay that would ensue if AMCAS got ahold of our 50 pages of evals, then attempted to upload them and send them to the med schools.
Long story short, the registrar had a chat with AMCAS, and the provost of the school had a chat with the registrar, and I don't have to send my evals to AMCAS. Thank you JEBUS. There's nothing wrong with my evals, but I just know that my application would be in verification hell forever if they had to deal with all that paper. They just don't function well outside of their little box.
? Here's some 
for the future.
