So, I took English in high school that was paid for as if it were college credits. However, I also took other courses. I earned extremely mediocre grades in them: my overall GPA for that college is 3.2. In English, I have 2 B's. I also have something like History and Comp Science, somewhere around B- to A's. Do I have to list them all for AMCAS, or just English, as the other things did not transfer to my main college? 12 credits of B's will destroy my GPA, hard.

From the 2013 instruction manual (pg 48):

You must contact the college involved to determine transcript availability prior to
submitting the application. If a transcript from the college is available, it must be
forwarded to AMCAS and courses must be listed in the Course Work section of
your application. If letter grades and credit hours are listed on the college
transcript, these courses will be included in AMCAS GPA calculations, even if
they have not been transferred to the primary undergraduate school or used
towards a degree.
These courses do not require any Special Course Type, unless
otherwise appropriate. The Year in School for such courses is "High School."

So yes, you will have to list them, and yes they will count toward your GPA.
 
Well, time to go cry. Thanks for the information.

Makes the two of us. I want to punch all the advisers in the face for not explaining exactly what I was getting myself into by taking college classes as an idiotic high schooler.
