Hey folks,

I submitted my AMCAS back at the end of June (not yet verified but hopefully in the next week), and I just realized that I accidentally had a typo in my coursework. I reviewed it twice but didn't catch it. Instead of the course number being ENGL209, I wrote EGNL209. Should I call AMCAS about this or will they resolve it when they get to my application? Thanks everyone!
 
I don't think it's something you need to worry about. If they catch it during verification, they will probably correct it. If they don't catch it, I don't really think it's a big deal.

With how varied course numbers and titles are between universities, I doubt anyone will even notice it.
 
Typos should be picked up during verification process. Don't sweat it oobie. AMCAS also have a copy of your transcript when they do the verification so they will make sure everything matches what you typed in when you submitted your primary app.
