    taken 2 different Physics 1 courses --- can I choose which one counts for AMCAS GPA?

    Last summer, I took Physics 1 algebra-based at UTD and got an A. Unfortunately, I had to retake Physics 1 because I need the Calc-based credit. I am taking it now at Uni (calc based) and stand no chance of getting an A. Since either one can count for med school, can I choose the higher grade...

    Shoud I take credit for research?

    I met with my advisor today to talk about research. He suggested that I email professors about their research and ask if they have spots open in their lab. He also said I could take credit (1-3hrs) this summer for research. I feel more comfortable with the second option, because I switched my...

    College courses as a high school student - should I list college attendance as of the first course?

    I took ~20 credits as a high school student between Spring 2007 - Spring 2009 at a community college (instead of AP courses because I was homeschooled) before I matriculated in Fall 2009 as a full-time student.

However, it is a pre-requisite for the optometry application. Am I required to physically take the lab or does the credit count? I did a few experimental...
