Hi Everyone,

It is such a rough time for everyone, but hang in there my fellow colleagues, this too shall pass.

First off, i am a Canadian student and I strongly considering DO medical school. I am thinking of redoing 2 courses this semester. (both being D+)

Secondly, my school "Claims" that it does not send the first attempt.

The school sends a ‘No Credit Retained’ if i repeat for the first attempt. Now, i do not know how to go about this. If the DO schools see this ‘No Credit Retained’, will it be worst than keeping the original mark .

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

any advice?

Uhmm I've never heard of this and I'm Canadian. What school is this?

Are you saying that the first attempt will be "no credit retained" and the D+ won't show but the 2nd attempt will show?
Maybe they mean that because you got D+, you didn't receive a credit for it? I think they would show the mark though.

If it says no credit retained, it will show 0.0 units. You can legitimately submit it with 0.0 credits because that is what it says in your transcript. AACOMAS cannot assign units to something the transcript says doesn't have any.

My instinct: although there will be "no credit retained" with regards to your transcript credentials, if at the very least the attempted credits of that first attempt appear on transcript then it will factor into gpa... However, if the credit-value of that course is no where to be found next to that course's location on the transcript, then MAYBE you can get away with reporting it on AACOMAS as 0 credits.
