What happens if you misclassify a course in AMCAS?

Does it delay your verification significantly or are they just like "nope" and fix it for you?

I took a "Descriptive Astronomy" course that I got a B in, and I know that Astronomy is listed under physics, but this class was truly descriptive. Like, there was not really any physics involved that I can remember, and my BPCM GPA looks much better without it. Is it worth the risk to try and classify it as 'Natural & Physical Sciences'?

Also, I took a welding course, that should go under "Other", right?

They will will make up to 10 corrections before they send it back to you

Do you know if the corrections count for both minor and major changes? Like what about if you forgot to select a course as "retaken"? Would that count as a correction?

They no longer return applications for misclassifications this issue isnt a issue

So OP CTFO

Wait, so even if there are more than 10 corrections, they won't return an app? Or did you mean this is only for misclassifications of coursework?

If there are more than 10 corrections to make, AMCAS sends it back to you and says "Nope. You gotta fix this before I spend any more time on it."

AMCAS didnt agree that my one nursing department course in pathophysiology was actually nursing and moved it to bio. It wasnt an issue at all.

Just misclassification

Your quote lists the "common reasons" for a returned application, not the only reasons. Do you have another informal source of information on the subject? [It's hard to believe that I am more paranoid about the rules than you are.]

-I dont have some sort of comprehensive rules on the subject

At the least, I hoped there might be subway MTA elves whispering secrets into your ear.

They reclassified like 6 of my classes and changed the grade on all my military courses from blank to P. I’ve been verified since Tuesday.

The New York City MTA Elves tend to only whisper “go f-ck yourself “ as the punch you in the nuts

Or cut the power to the G train at random times.

So much for trying to insert a note of whimsy.

I have read from a post in 2017, but wanted to see if anyone else is running into the issue. I list all of my coursework chronologically and then when I hit save, it jumps up in my list and makes it look like I entered out of order. Anyone else experiencing this?
