Q: Do repeated courses factor into my GPA?
A: In the case of a repeated course, AACOMAS will calculate the MOST RECENT grade received whether it is higher or lower than the first time the course was taken. To ensure this is calculated correctly, you should record the “credits attempted” for all initial attempts of the course as 0.00 in your coursework section and label these courses “not applicable.” You should still record the grade received. As the applicant, you are responsible for entering your repeated courses correctly according to the AACOMAS Instructions (above). Please note that withdrawn courses are NOT considered repeats.

They see everything, just follow the instructions and don't try to hide anything. DO schools don't care unless you show a downward trend or you have to retake org, physics, biochem, and bio all multiple times each.
