Will this change/addition to my application hurt more than help me?

So I just got verified! But I realized I forgot to add a school and its transcript to my application. It honestly just slipped my mind. I only took one class there and it was a repeat of orgo. I got an A in the repeat and a C+ in my original class.

Is it worth it to update my application and add this into it? Or will the delay/time spent verifying etc all over again not even be worth it?

Its only 1 grade but it would replace the C+ in orgo into an A so I'm not really sure. My GPA should be around 3.3-3.5 without it.

I'm pretty sure this will cause issues because you have to report all course work from all colleges attended.
 
My friend didn't put a college class she took at a community college during high school on her AACOMAS application. AACOMAS sent her an email saying her coursework couldn't be verified and she had to have the community college send her transcript and then resubmit her application for verification. I suggest getting a transcript sent ASAP!
 
Teaching moment! Malpractice lawyers grow fat and rich when doctors make these kind of charting mistakes.

Attention to detail is everything.

Send a message to AACOMAS. I was blown away with how responsive they were last year. I found an error in the way they listed AP credit. The person I worked with responded within 24 hours to my message, and had it corrected before the next batch went out the following week.

Besides the fact that you can replace a C+ with an A in a required course, the whole incomplete academic record thing would freak me out too much to not remedy it immediately. Think about where it can go: you fix it, you have a better grade, a minimal SGPA bump, and you're not worried about it any longer. Don't fix it: it will be found eventually when you have to send in all your official transcripts to the school, you will have to explain it to the school and you will be freaking out about it then. Just do it now.

It's new AACOMAS this year. A lot of people on here are having bad experience with them including myself. They haven't responded to my message that I sent 2 weeks ago.

I feel like the whole process is handled by a third party. Last year it was run through interfolio, and this year Liaison. The app through Interfolio was awesome.
 
admission tend to blame aacomas for most of the issues this year. its too early to worry about malpractice, at least you didnt left scaple in patient's gut lol
