My primary app just got verified and the way AMCAS ranked what is Fresh/Soph/Jr./Sr. year make it look as though I have a downward GPA trend. I spent 3 yrs at a CC, then 2 yrs at a university. My 1st year at the university wasn't the best, but I improved my 2nd/final year there (graduated with honors). Because I have 5yrs of schooling, AMCAS grouped most of my 1st year at the university (what I think of as my junior year) in with my senior/5th year grades, making it look like I did the worst as a senior.
Do medical schools look at each individual academic year (years 1-5 for me), or do they just look at the GPA's that AMCAS labels as Fresh/Soph/Jr./Sr. year?
