Ok, so I've done a search and read 1001 AMCAS GPA threads. I still haven't found the answer to my question.
I know that many people have said that when you retake a class AMCAS "averages" your grades.
Does it really average those two grades, or does AMCAS just tread them each as an individual class in your GPA calculation?
For example:
Bio 2, 4 credits, you get a C and an A. (taking the class twice)
Does AMCAS count this as one four credit class in which you earned a B?
Or does it count them as 1 in which you earned a C and 1 in which you earned and A? (The equilivant to two four credit classes in which you earned a B.)
Would it make any difference if you took the classes at different schools?
Thanks for the help!
