Hello,
So I when I filled out my application I read over the manual on how to fill out grade replacements/repeats but I'm now a little confused. I've taken my prerequisite courses at university but am now currently retaking a few at community college. I'm know that the grades I receive at CC will replace my university grades...but my question is how to enter it in.

For example, I listed one of the courses I took at university as "R01" and under my community college coursework I have the equivalent class labeled as "RNY (repeat to be completed)". My application was verified and AACOMAS told me I inputed it wrong and took away the "R01" and listed it as "none" for the classification. They did this for two other classes. Is this correct?

When I check the pdf that has been sent to schools my science GPA is wayy lower than I thought it was going to be because of the changed classifications. I'm also confused because...if they take away the original repeat labels I had put...then how will the med schools know that they are going to be repeated?

if anyone could clarify I would really appreciate it (I'm freaking out cause my science gpa went down).
 
Are the cc credits equivalent to the university credits? That's all I can think of. Definitely give them a call and ask why, they've were always super helpful on the phone for me.
 
Yup they're definitely equivalent in units. Plus my CC has an articulation agreement w/the university so I know for sure they're equivalent.

I'll give them a call.

Edit: Ughh they don't answer calls on fridays?! 🙁
