Question Community College Grades

<p>1) You were done with HS…they count, and you don’t get to put that they were dual credit courses (unless I misinterpreted what you’ve said). But they would have counted on your AMCAS anyways.</p>

<p>2) You got “B”…excuse me while I go watch paint dry because that’ll be more interesting than any negative effects you’ll experience if you make it through and actually apply to medical school. The average GPA for the cohort of medical school matriculants in any given year is around 3.6 - which means that a whole hell of a lot of people get more than a couple B’s throughout college.</p>

<p>3) It’s almost ubiquitous (though I’m sure there is the rare occasion), but you can’t retake a class you wouldn’t have failed if you had taken it pass/fail instead of for an actual grade. So if a school doesn’t have +/- system, unless you got a D, no dice. Further, the other grade will still show up on AMCAS, so medical schools would see it. Lastly, it’s an absolutely no-win situation. If you get an A, well duh, you took the class twice. If you end up with a B, or heavens forbid something worse, then people are going to wonder how dumb you must be because you couldn’t get an A on the retake.</p>

<p>4) you shouldn’t have wasted your last summer before college going to class.</p>
