So I have heard that medical schools are quite skeptical about online classes...is this true?

This summer, I plan to fulfill many of my general requirements. I plan on taking professional writing online, and 2/3 generals ONLINE. Is this bad?

Also, on your transcript does it indicate that the course was online? How do med schools know whether a course is online or not?

Thanks everybody!

Maybe in prereqs.

I fufilled two gen eds online, starting med school in August.

Also, on your transcript does it indicate that the course was online?

My school doesn't.

How do med schools know whether a course is online or not?

I don't know if they can unless it's done through an online-only school.

I've taken online courses at both a private university and community college. None of my transcripts indicate that these were taken online. There is no way for a school to know.

I have taken 4 courses (all general or elective non-science) online... My undergrad doesn't say they are online on the transcripts though... I don't think it is a problem

Avoid taking courses from online schools that plaster ads all over the place. I think everyone knows who the major players are in this space.

Yeah, I took one gen ed online. I don't see why it would be a problem provided it wasn't a prereq and was taken with your university..
