Want to retake a class after submitting application

[levk22]

Hello all!

I’m relatively new to this site and it’s my first time posting. I recently submitted my applications and I received an email yesterday from a school about my grade in Orgo 1. I got a C- (ugh. I know) and they said that they couldn’t substitute Orgo 2 for that requirement. They asked if I would be interested in retaking the course which I am interested in doing if it’ll increase my chances of getting in. 

My question is: how do I go about adding that to my application if I’m not taking the class until the fall? Should I call each program I applied to and tell them my intention of retaking it or should I just add it to my transcript on CASPA saying it’s in progress even though it won’t start until August?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you would add the course to your transcripts in CASPA as "In Progress/Planned" for Fall 2020.  Once you have completed the course, you will  be able to go back in and update with a grade.
