What happens when there are errors in your transcript entry?

Out of curiosity, if you make a mistake entering grades in manually in the transcripts section and it does not match your official transcript, does AACOMAS automatically correct it for you or do they open the application back up for you to fix and re-submit?

First off they kill a kitten and puppy for good measure.. j/k (I'll get some hate messages for that..lol)

Depends, they might correct a single or a few errors if they catch them. If there are more or errors and classification problems then they could bump it back to you to fix. Someone on SDN a year or so ago mentioned it took about 2 weeks (I think) to resubmit and get his transcript re-verified after errors.

You might email them and let them know so it could maybe be fixed before the process, as it's even harder to correct things once verified and you don't want an uncaught mistake (like a 3.2 vs 2.95 sgpa drop) to come back and haunt you when your med school gets your transcripts after acceptance and finds an error.

Good luck
