How to Enter Repeats from Different Schools

1) I have six schools, including graduate and the one I'm completing my premed prereqs at. If I got a low grade at an earlier school and repeated the class with a better grade at another school, do I number the same repeat and last repeat with the same number even though they are from different schools on aacomas?

2) Also, my recent science gpa is much better than my undergraduate gpa from 15+ years ago, but they are averaged together bringing it down significantly. Will they look at the cum gpa or the individual, most recent gpa's?

3) I know I can have my application verified while waiting for my MCAT score. However, if I get it back and don't want to apply due to low score, can I rescind the application? I'd like to get the verification process started pretty quickly.
Thanks!

1. Where you took a retake makes no difference. What matters is how much the retake was worth. If it was worth the same or more amount of credits than the original class, it will be counted as a retake and will replace the grade.

2. They will see the same numbers you do on your AACOMAS. However, schools do tend to focus considerably more on your more recent progress. Especially if they're comparing to 15 years ago. 😉 So if you have a strong upward trend, they'll definitely notice it.

3. There's no way to get your money back once you apply, and I'm pretty sure you can't "take back" your application once it's in. So when you click that submit button, make absolutely sure you're ready to apply.
