Do medschools count remedial classes into your GPA?

[ecullen]

<p>I took a remedial math class (Trigonometry) at a community college. Trigonometry does not count in my GPA when applying to UC schools, but does it count when applying to medical schools?</p>

<p>MD schools take all college classes into account when calculating your GPA. If you’ve taken the same class twice in college, DO schools will only count the newer grade in your application GPA.</p>

<p>I think the OP is asking about <100-level courses (i.e., HS courses taken at a CC). I’m not sure, though… don’t have any of those, so I never paid much attn to that. I’d check the AMCAS website.</p>

<p>Doesn’t matter - if they go on a college transcript, they count for med school admissions.</p>

<p>here’s what Hopkins says quoting AMCAS

Subsection 4: Course Work </p>

<pre><code>* AMCAS says… “When entering course work, you must include information and corresponding grades for every course you have ever enrolled in at any U.S., U.S. Territorial or Canadian post-secondary institution, regardless of whether credit was earned, and including any courses removed from your transcripts or GPA as a result of academic bankruptcy, forgiveness, or similar institutional policies. This includes, but is not limited to:
o Courses from which you withdrew.
o Courses for which you received a grade of “Incomplete” and for which no final grade has been assigned.
o Courses that have been repeated.
o Courses that you failed, regardless of whether they have been repeated.
o Courses in which you are currently enrolled or expect to enroll in prior to entering medical school.
o Remedial/developmental courses.
o College-level courses you took while in high school even if they were not counted toward a degree by any college.
o Courses taken at an American college overseas.
o Courses removed from your transcripts or GPA as a result of academic bankruptcy, forgiveness, or similar institutional policies.”
