[CAK2012]

Members do not see this ad.

I am wondering and have use the search function for my question and have not found a clear answer. So to reinstate my question, will the credits I have earned at the CC I attended count toward my GPA for MED school ?

The ems classes I took were vocational/technical and did not count toward a degree, I only obtained a certificate.
If these credits do count, how are these classes viewed by admissions ? Because these classes are not graded the same such as bio, math, and ect.
Thanks to all who reply in advance

Put them in if you received credit, they won't really hurt or help. I had one such course and it was pretty much ignored.

If you mean count for your undergrad GPA when you're applying to med school-- maybe.
If you mean your med school GPA once you're in med school-- definitely not.

Yes they will, I'm enjoying the effects of my first year EMS program tanking my GPA right now.

Just to clarify, if these classes are listed on a transcript with credit and grade, they will be included in your AMCAS GPA. They will included in the AO (all other) GPA and the overall GPA



How are they graded? how do they appear on a college transcript?

Well on my transcript they appear with the course number and class name followed by my letter grade. But when I was going through the course, scoring an 80- 85 is considered a C. For example, if I came out with an 85 in BIO 1 then it would be considered a B on my transcript.

Immaterial . What ever the letter grade is on the transcript, is what will count in GPA for AMCAS

If you have a letter grade but in credit hours it says 0, what then?
