HI
I am older non trad and am planning to take my pre-reqs and need to meet the 30/60/90 credit hour requirement .
I ( US citizen ) currently did my UG outside the US and masters in USA .
I have grad credits (masters is computer science ) from the us , can i use this towards my med school requirements or are they strictly undergrad only
Masters credit - 39 credits ( graduate courses + thesis )
My plan ( DIY post bacc )
2020 - 19 credits ( community college )
2021 - 23 credits ( Spring 15 , Summer 8 ) ( 4 year local university )
So I will have 42 credits and would have completed my pre-reqs ( Bio. Phy, Chem, Ochem )

Question
- How are the total credits counted in AMCAS
- Will this 42 UG + 39 masters help me meet my 60hr requirement for med/do schools
- Do I need to add more UG credits ? Will doing more credits help me in the application process ? or do i use the time to focus on MCAT / shadowing / EC's
