Hi,
would an F be included in ones gpa even after one receives an A in a repeated course?

Thank you

AMCAS will average the two grades. Say it's a 4 unit class. An "F" and a "A" will equal a "C" at 4 units.

i believe that would be a 'C' at 8 units.

You're correct.

when you repeat a course, do you click "repeated course" in the AMCAS for both times or just one of the 2.

Only the second time around. The first time you're taking it...you're not repeating it right? 🙂

I'm a bigger idiot. I actually emailed the AAMC to ask! 😳
