Premed applicant using AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service) here.
Intro:
- I took Precalc 1 from SL(Straighterline) a number of years ago, and had it accepted by my 4-year institution of higher learning which has subsequently become accredited.
- Precalc 2 was taken in a physical classroom at my uni.
- AMCAS shouldn't have any trouble with my transcript, except for the fact that it has this one class from SL.
- Precalc is not a prerequisite for med-school entry, my degree (2020) is.
- I don't want my application to be sent back for review, delaying my acceptance process.
- I can't find any comments on the web in this area, after several Google searches and following all leads.
Questions:
Should I try to get straighterline to send AMCAS a transcript? Should I just enter it into AMCAS as coming from my uni?
Sources that give me pause:
ThucydidesLazar 2015 | I have heard that [Straighterline] have sent their transcripts directly to the AMCAS. I simply wish I could hear what the result of that was. Generally, this is something one would place on a transcript, not send directly.
Ancapman 2017 | Crazy enough, some schools will want to see the final grades from SL. For example... my AMCAS application has to have grades from Cuyamaca College, St. Leo, Straighterline, Study, CooperSmith, CCAC, and TESU they are especially interested in English Comp I and II and Science courses... but here is the other reason.
