What does "YEAR" mean in the academic record section of AMCAS???

I was looking over my printed AMCAS application and noticed that under "Year" everything is under the year of the first semester only. For example, although Freshman year 1st semester was in 2002 and Freshman year 2nd semester was in 2003, AMCAS changed both semesters 1 and 2 to under 2002. This is confusing me! Is this correct? Do other people notice the same thing in their AMCAS? So when I fill out secondaries, under "year" of a class taken, what do we say? the year of the first semester or the year the actual class was taken in?? *confuzzled*

That depends on how your school system works.

If it is the typical semester system....

Fall + Spring = one year

If it is a trimester or quarter system, I don't know.

So Fall 2002 + Spring 2003 = Year 2002??

i believe summers are factored in as well. for me,

Junior year = Summer 2004 + Fall 2004 + Spring 2005.

Yes that is correct. I meant to add that in there, but totally forgot to account for the summer.

But you are on target. 👍 👍
