Community College Grades during HS

I will be graduating high school this June and attending a university in the fall.
During high school, I took two courses at a local community college. One was the first course of a foreign language (but I don't want plan to go on with that language, so that was pointless, haha) and the other was Elementary Statistics.
I got a B in both courses. Do medical schools look at this with significance since it was during my high school years? It's factored into my GPA, right? If I retake Stats and get an A, does it cancel out my B?
I, like all of you, want to hold my GPA up as high as I can during college and I now I could have gotten an A in Stats if I tried harder.

Thank you so much in advance! 🙂

Nothing "cancels out" a grade. Everything has to be submitted and calculated, and every class is treated like a new class.

Example:

B in stats: 3.00/4.00
retake: A in stats: 4.00/4.00
GPA is now: (3.00+4.00) / 2 classes = 3.50 (B+/A- average)

Example:

D in Ochem: 1.00/4.00
retake: C in Ochem: 2.00/4.00
retake: A in Ochem: 4.00/4.00
GPA is now: (1.00 + 2.00 + 4.00) / 3 classes = 2.33 (C+ average)

Take-home message: DON'T SLACK OFF. There is no reset button.

DO schools do use grade replacement.
