<p>I am currently a high-school senior and I will be attending Cornell in 2006. I will study premed, and currently I am taking General Chemistry at a local community college. Will this class count on my science GPA for medical applications? What if I don't want it to count and I am taking this just for the experience?</p>
<p>The AAMC maintains a very good website regarding what they will and won't count.</p>
<p>I will say that I'm fairly certain the answer will either be "yes" or "no" - that is, the answer will probably NOT be "it's optional; do whichever you like".</p>
<p>I am sorry bluedevilmike, but I do not understand. Will you please clarify? Will it count on my science GPA for medical school applications even though I take the course at a community college while concurrently in high-school?</p>
<p>will count I checked for my self before</p>
<p>Even if you don't transfer the credit to your new college?</p>
<p>All College Level Courses Will Count</p>
<p>What if my high-school puts on the transcript as credit/no credit? Do they check with the community college for the letter grade?</p>
<p>if the community college has the letter grade you are required to request them</p>
<p>I have one more question I desparately need answering: How bad would it be if I got a B or a C in the class? Would that just kill my chances for medical school right there?</p>
<p>Do they put the same GPA weight into these community college classes as the university classes?</p>
<p>same weight based on units, but they calculated your HS (College) GPA based on AO and BCPM . Was that B or C in a BCPM Class?</p>
<p>I still have a chance for an A but I'm just wondering. Yes, it would be in a Chemistry class.</p>
<p>i dont think it will be detrimental because its just 1 class and ur probably going to retake general and organic chem again in college anyways</p>
<p>Thank you very much for the help.</p>
<p>I agree with confused that this probably isn't as important as some of the other things you're doing - but a C from a community college is just cosmetically kind of repulsive. Work hard to avoid that.</p>
<p>Not that it would kill your chances at medical school - one C can't do that - but it would most certainly harm them.</p>
