Hi guys. I am an international student with a Canadian bachelor's degree(and a Canadian permanent resident). I had some transfer credits from my home school(first year) but they didn't count towards my GPA. Instead, they're written as 'CR' and miscellaneous credits. I want to apply to a US medical school(I am not a citizen or a green card holder) and want to know if my foreign grades would be included in my cGPA(I know AMCAS doesn't accept it). Would the medical school request for it? I'm really dreading it because sending a transcript from my country can take up to two years without bribery(I wish I was kidding). Or would they just accept my Canadian transcript only?

Members don't see this ad.
 
If you are asked to interview, they may ask for a review of the foreign transcript, but only the Canadian grades will appear as part of the AMCAS application and foreign grades will not be averaged into it.
Thank you so much!
