o hai, guise. im looking into applying for the LECOM post-bacc & i was wondering if they factor in the repeated courses for the required GPA.

to be more clear:
suppose i was applying for med school (D.O.) they would factors in repeated courses into my GPA calculation. so my question is, for the post-bacc, will they also factor in repeated courses for the GPA calculation?
 
This would be a school specific question that is dependent on each specific post-bac program you apply to. It would be best to call each school's admissions office to find your answer.
 
@gonnif: thanks for helping. i didn't know that either. im sorry for not being clear (im typing w/ a phone). what im askig is this:
LECOM's post-bacc asks for a GPA of 2.7. lets say the med school (not the post-bacc) asks for a 3.2 if i was applying "normally" (no post-bacc), they would use grade replacements to calculate my GPA towards that 3.2 . now im applying to the post-bacc (not the med school). the post-bacc wants a 2.7. will they use grade replacement when calculating my GPA for the post-bacc? I've taken several classes more than once. if i was applying to med school they would use grade replacement & count the most recent grade. im applying to the post-bacc will they use "grade replacement" & count the most recent grade?
hope that was better.

@mappingmedicine: i called them twice today & asked to be directed to post-bacc admissions. both twice i couldn't reach someone to talk w/
