I'm a junior in college now, I was going to get training as an EMT-intermediate, this is about 25-26 hours worth of training. The classses would be taken during the summer or night school. Will this be included with my GPA for med school applications? Not that my gpa is bad, but getting A's for so many hours couldn't hurt.

I'm not got gonna upset AMCAS and I will be sure to include 7.5 credits of B+ work I did (to bump up the GPA).

Think about though, you're learning high level skills (ET tubes, ACLS, IV's , and so on). There is no reason not ot count it in. Peace.

you have to enter data for all collegiate level classwork that you've ever taken...so yes you will have to enter your grades for EMT-I class on AMCAS. I had 9 units from a community college on AMCAS for my EMT-B class.

I just took the course over three weeks at UCLA, and it's worth 7 units there.

Yes it counts in the GPA, but unfortunately it does NOT count in the science GPA.
