I can't seem to find the answer for this question on the AACOMAS general directions:

When I was in high school, some forgein language courses I took were cross-registered with my state university. I completed these classes like any other high school class, but my grades were automatically sent to the university and thus I have a university transcript although officially I never registered or even set foot on campus.

The allopathic application service requires transcripts for these classes, but I was wondering if I need to report them on my AACOMAS app. Reading the general directions, it says to report all classes taken at any regionally accredited institution, but then it says to start entering courses starting with those taken as a freshman; there is no mention of how courses taken as a high school student should be listed. Any idea of what I should do?
 
Hmmm...good question. I'd call AACOMAS and ask them directly.

Hi. I took similar courses in high school. Our biology was like any HS course, but registered and got credit at a local community college. I was told by AACOMAS that the transcript IS needed and when listing it on the courses and grades section it is however the college's transcript designated it, and it falls under Freshman category too. If u have any other Q's about this let me know. Hope this helps! 🙂
 
I also had the same experience, and the courses were required to be listed as well as an official transcript from that university passed on. (I was hoping I could get by without this bc I wasn't the most motivated high school student, but oh well.)
