PharmCAS school questions

I took 3 college course classes at a community college, before I attended a 4-year undergraduate university. However, I took those 3 college courses while I was still in high school. Will these courses count into my GPA and should I include them?

2nd question is, I took like 4 AP classes in high school and did well in them. Do I put them as the courses list?

The problem with both these two is that they both happened while I was in high school. Is that a problem?

Thanks in advance!

Yes you have to list the college courses you took in high school. They will count as part of your gpa. No u don't list those ap courses because it is not considered a college course. However if you passed the ap test and got credit for them in college then u list the courses that ur college gave u credit for.

Ok thank you! And does anyone know if I want to send a transcript to PharmCAS, do I HAVE to send in the form that PharmCAS gave us? Because my community colleges are far from where I am right now, and I was planning on just sending it through online processing where the school will send in my transcript themselves.

I did that with a couple of my colleges. I know that it might take longer to process based on the fact that the transcript request form that is used through the college does not contain your PharmCAS ID. It should be fine, but it might take longer to process through PharmCAS.

So I will put the passed AP tests under college courses for my primary college that counted them? I will list the courses it corresponds to for my primary college? I'm confused on what year and quarter I will put for them though. Can you clarify on this please? Thanks in advance!

While we're on the topic, how do they factor in AP credits when calculating gpa since we don't get a grade for them? Does anyone know?

^ for example I took an AP English test and scored a 4 so my university gave me credit for Eng A and Eng B ( so I got to skip those classes and went on to take English C).

So on my pharmcas I listed the courses Eng A and Eng B, then put Fall of the year that I entered college as the year of the course.

these courses won't be factored into your gpa since you didn't get a grade for it, but pharmcas requires you to put all your classes you ever got credit for anyways.

So for the Grade part, do I put Credit or No Grade or a letter grade depending on if we get 5, 4, or 3? Thanks!

you would put no grade just mark it as credit and advanced placement

I have a problem with this issue. I have recieved credit from my university but it does not show the name nor course number. How should I list them on the Pharmcas? but AP credit is under my other credit , type saying TEST and earned 8.000credits
