<p>Ahhh well, perhaps my UG was strange then.</p>
<p>On my UG transcript, it shows all my AP, dual enrollment, and transfer credit in addition to the credit I earned on campus (I still sent original transcripts from dual enrollment and transfer credit schools). I imagine transcripts are decently scrutinized by the AMCAS folks, and made the (perhaps incorrect) assumption that it would be problematic not to report a course because then it would not show up on both transcripts, thus indicating that the candidate was perhaps hiding something. Would this matter in the end? Who knows, but doesn’t seem like a chance worth taking.</p>
<p>I think my error was assuming that it’s typical for UG transcripts to show all credit earned from all institutions like mine does. I can’t imagine many other scenarios where a discrepancy would actually occur if other UG transcripts only show credit earned there–and it seems like Brown and Emory are examples of schools with altogether different transcripts than mine.</p>
<p>Additionally, my committee required a printed copy of my AMCAS, which again may be a strange thing. Considering my committee knew my school’s academic policies like the back of their hand, I would have been quite nervous to give them a copy of AMCAS which included any courses that hadn’t been submitted to my school (thus appearing on my school’s transcript too). Failing to report courses taken at another institution is a major violation at my school–and, as we’ve now seen, isn’t a big deal at Emory.</p>
<p>I guess my only remaining question is…why not submit them to Emory? If you’ll eventually submit them to AMCAS anyway (which you’re required to, which is a bummer in my mind), and your AMCAS GPA is “all” that really “matters” GPA-wise to your future (assuming you stay the premed course), what’s the harm in submitting them? Would they go toward your Emory GPA? (At my school, only courses taken on campus or online through our campus were counted toward GPA.)</p>
