Hi guys i am currently a freshman in UOP. While i was junior in high school, i took a pre-calculus and an English class at a local community college, but i dropped them as i was having some family issue and got a W for both pf them. I apply as a senior in high school to undergraduate universities. And didn't mentioned them and got accepted to undergraduate.

Should i retake them or forget about them as no one knows. And can pharmacy/dental/medical schools knows about them by any way. i already took calculus 1 and english my undergraduate ?

Any suggestions are welcome.
 
When it is time to apply for med school, you will have to report the classes and get transcripts from every college you took classes from, even if it was during high school or you took a W on them. If you don't report them, the schools you apply to can find out through the national student clearinghouse and it can cause major problems for you.

Med schools require that you submit transcripts from every college where you attempted coursework, even if no grade was earned. But not to worry, as those two Ws will not negatively impact your med school chances, whether you retake or not.
 
If you fail to submit the transcript, med schools will know, as they are partnered with a service that tracks one's past educational experiences. If you "forget" you will be reminded, and it will take longer before your Primary application is released to med schools for their consideration.
 
Ws are not factored into your GPA.
