Hi, I am a transfer international student here in the US. I started college last year and will graduate in 2012. However before I started school here, I went to the CC in my native country and i took some for the required courses there.
I contacted the schools with MD/PhD programs that accept Int'l students, half of the schools said that all the required courses must be taken @ a US school,
while the other half just required that I complete 90 credit @ a US school.
My questions is, Should I retake?
If I retake, do I have to include the grades from my CC?
And if I have to include those grades from my CC on AMCAS application, what is their policy with regard to courses/grades from a non US institution.
Also if I were to retake these course how would it be viewed, in terms 'taking the same thing twice'
Please give some advice.
Thanks
Thanks
