How do AdComs evaluate such work if it is (much) less than stellar, although it wasn't applied to a degree program? It's a given that it'll appear on your ACMAS file, but even if it is clearly marked as HS, does (relatively) poor performance essentially close any doors to MSTP or top MD programs?

I don't think anyone knows, but if you've shown that you can do the work after high school then it should be fine. It'd obviously be better if it is great work, but I don't think anyone will keep you out based on a few college-level courses taken while in high school.

If you received college credit for it, you must report it on AMCAS. I wonder, just how bad is it? I doubt it will bring down your cum GPA very much and upward trends are always a plus.

I completed about 80 units of college coursework during high school, but the cumulative GPA is aproximately 3.2. Certainly enough to soil an excellent u-grad GPA.

You took 80 units of ugrad work in high school and then didn't apply it to a degree? Why?

Does this make your cum with ugrad over a 3.5?

Because many (most) of them were taken before high school, and I'm not going to pretend that I still have a college level proficiency in them. Also, because I'm entering my undergraduate program this fall, I suppose (as of now) that 3.1 is my cum GPA.

Yeah, I tried to do a search and due to the braod nature of the words and their common usage here, I get hundreds of unrelated threads.
