Do Med Schools look at college credits earned in HS?

<p>I took Chem class in HS through my local CC and scored a B. I will prolly score a B for this semester too. Will a Med school see this B and if so, should I retake the class? The classes are Chem 111 and 112</p>

<p>They will see the B and you're better off taking it at your 4 year university because most medical school looks down upon taking pre-req classes at cc</p>

<p>To agree with and clarify TRU's remarks: You should retake, but not because of the B. You should retake because you took them at CC's.</p>

<p>If you took the class sitting in your high school you definately have to repeat them. Some colleges won't even accept that as transfer credit anyway.</p>

<p>1.) Medical schools do not care what your high school recognizes and accepts.</p>

<p>2.) Medical schools ALSO do not care what your college does or does not accept.</p>

<p>3.) If your work was credited at ANY college ANYWHERE, medical schools will SEE your grades. Whether they COUNT it or not towards your premedical requirements -- i.e. whether they allow you to skip it at your four-year school -- varies considerably.</p>

<p>So let's say you jump from Diablo Valley Community College to UC Los Angeles and then apply to UCSD Medical School. If UCLA refuses to accept your DVC grades, it doesn't matter. UCSD will still see your DVC grades, and those grades will still impact your GPA -- even if UCLA refuses to include them in their own calculations of GPA.</p>

<p>Now, say you (against our advice) do not take Intro Chem at UCLA. UCSD might reject you on-face because you have not fulfilled their requirements in a satisfactory manner, since you took it at a CC.</p>
