General Admissions & OTCAS OTCAS--listing repeat prereq grades?

[CAOT]

I'd like some advice on how to list a repeated class in the section where we are filling in prereqs that are specific to each of our schools.

For example, if I got a B- in anatomy at one school, and retook it for an A- at another school, do I list both when pulling the prereqs in those sections? Or just the higher grade?

Obvi, I'm not hiding anything because they'll have all my transcripts, but I also don't want to disadvantage myself unnecessarily.

Thoughts?

You list both, there should be an option to show that you repeated that class though.

I listed only the higher grade. The schools can always look through your transcript and find the lower grade if they want.

You should call/email the schools you're applying to and ask though, because you select the prereqs individually for each program (if that makes sense). So you can do this exactly how each program wants.

I know this post was from a while ago and you might have already figured it out, but I wondered the same thing when I was applying. After searching through OTCAS (It was a while ago, I can't remember exactly where I saw it), I found something that said the class only counts as a repeat if it was taken at the same school. If you took the class at another school, don't list it as a repeat, and use the higher grade.
