I attended a CC before my 4-year college and noticed some schools have around a 60 credit limit for accepted CC credits. My question is, say you have 70 CC credits which do they decide to take? Do you get to pick which ones? what happens to the ones not used, are those still factored into your GPA?
 
I had close to 100 units from the CCs, every single one was incorporated into all the GPAs calculated by AADSAS. In regards to which courses the schools look at, I believe it's all of them. The limit is set at some schools because they recommend that the required pre-requisites completed at a 4 year institution if possible.

If you are over units, I'm sure the schools will differentiate between the courses that are relevant and the ones that aren't as important. As they did for me in my case. Hope this helps, Good Luck!
 
So if I have 60 CC credits (A.S degree) and decide to take my physics sequence at the same CC, will the schools that accept 60 credits accept the physics class?

They should since it is a required pre-requisite. Some schools as you might already know do not accept CC course work.

To get a more clear answer and a better understanding, a breakdown of what your courses are that compose the 60 units you have would help. Also have you already or are in progress to receive you B.S. from a 4 year school?
 
From the 60 credit I already completed, the only pre-reqs I have from the 2-year is English 1&2. Physics would be my only science pre-req completed at a CC. Yes, I already have my B.S. in Health Sciences.
 
Then based off of what happened with me this cycle you will be fine. Double check with schools you are applying to just to be sure.
 
It should make no difference as long as I dont apply to a school that does not accept CC credits (I don't plan to), correct?
