Transfer Credits on Transcript --> AMCAS

<p>This doesn't really apply to me particularly, but I'm curious to know:</p>

<p>If an individual earned around 15 credits at a jr. college during high school before entering a 4 yr Uni as a freshman, and assuming that the Uni accepts those credits w/o a letter grade (only credit) and puts such credits/courses on its transcript, will that individual still have to report the transcript w/ the grades from the jr college to AMCAS (or the med school adcoms) OR will the overall 4 yr uni transcript suffice (even though it doesnt display the grades for those courses). </p>

<p>If there is no need for a seperate transcript, wouldn't students abuse this loophole to get by with B/C's at the jr. colleges in order to have them hidden, yet still counted towards the BS/BA degree? </p>

<p>Just a thought...</p>

<p>You need to send it in. It would indeed be a loophole; that's why AMCAS demands them.</p>

3

<p>what if you took a class at a college in high school and decide that you don't want to transfer the class at all, do you still need to send in the transcript from that community college/will it negatively effect any GPA if you did poorly?</p>
