very tiny glich on my transcript question

Hi guys,
I sent my transcripts into AMCAS a few weeks ago, and I just got an e-mail that they received one of them today. While I was looking over my transcript at home, though, I realized that under one of my classes, it says "Incomple--made up [such and such date]." This was a directed reasearch class I had taken a couple of summers ago, and at that time, the professor I was working under had not turned in a grade on time, though I had completed the work on time. That was the reason they put an incomplete on my transcript. The thing is, I thought they would just remove the Incomplete once my professor turned the grade in. It wasn't until I looked at my transcript that I saw it was still there. They just put the date the grade was turned in with it. Now my question is, it's not my fault, it's my professor's, but is it too small of a thing for me to get it corrected and turn in a new transcript to AMCAS? And if so, how do I go about doing that? Or should I just leave it alone, because it wouldn't matter anyway?

i would try to get it corrected. there are thousands of applicants applying and it's hard to make the decision as to who should hold each seat. so you want to make sure you look the best you can and if it's really not your fault your school shouldn't have any problem changing it.

Don't bother. Unless your transcript is littered with Incompletes and Withdraw grades, it really doesn't matter.

Besides, AMCAS won't let you submit a new transcript, anyway. I am all about detail, but this is one that really doesn't matter.

AMCAS WILL let you send it another transcript. However, once you have submitted your application, you can't submit any more transcripts.

Sorrry...

Actually, you ARE allowed to make transcript corrections after you submit your application. I spoke to AMCAS today (I have a similar situation) and they said that once the application is verified, you can go into cert&transmit and send a note under "academic change request." Your school should send a new transcript with a signed letter indicating the reason for change. When they sumbit your application, the note will be attached to your file. Call AMCAS if you need them to walk you through the process. Good luck!
