<p>I am currently taking Dual Enrollment classes through a local community college. I will be attending a state college after I graduate. Will whatever grades I earn in these classes factor in to my college GPA? Furthermore, I am planning on applying to medical school after I get my bachelors. Will my Dual Enrollment classes and grades also play a role in my acceptance to medical school?</p>
<p>[url=<a href=“Will my dual-enrollment grades follow me after I graduate? - Applying to College - College Confidential Forums”>Will my dual-enrollment grades follow me after I graduate? - Applying to College - College Confidential Forums]Here[/url</a>] is a thread I made about this topic last year. From what I gather, it won’t affect the GPA your college calculates, because transfer credits aren’t usually assigned letter grades. But you have to submit transcripts to all the colleges you’ve ever been to when you apply to graduate or professional schools, and bad grades in dual-enrollment classes will have pretty much the same consequences as bad grades you got in classes you took when you were older. </p>
<p>I was told that my UConn DE credit would count to my college GPA if I attended UConn but not anywhere else.</p>
<p>No it doesn’t! You get credit hours for the class but you will bot start college with a GPA </p>

<p>The DE credit won’t really hurt for Med School. The issue with Med School and DE or AP Credit is that Med School requires a certain number of years of certain science courses and a lot of kids with DE or AP credit try to use AP or DE credit to get out of a couple of years for the med school requirement, allowing them to take easier courses to have a GPA good enough for med school. In your case, you’d get credit and all, but essentially you’d start off in a higher level set of science courses and would still need to take a certain number of years of science courses for most med schools</p>
