Hi, I am a non-trad who did a Bachelors in Music in undergrad. I was a complete ***** back then about being responsible about grades. Anyhow, here is my question. I took, at my undegrad, a Biology class that was for liberal arts majors. and a Chemistry class that was for liberal arts majors. I made a C in the Bio and a D- in the Chem. Both of these classes were listed as Bio and Chem courses. Anyhow, four years later, I take Gen. Chem and make a B and I take Gen Bio and make an A. Can I put on the AACOMAS that Gen Chem was a repeat for the previous listed class, as well as say Gen Chem was a repeat of the previous listed class? Thanks for your help. Right now my science G.P.A., postbac is a 3.7, if I add the two classes mentioned above it will be a 3.2-3.3, so if I could write off those classes as repeats it would helpful. Thanks again for any input.
 
Hi- I took gen. physics in my Slacker Days and got a D; took engineering physics a couple of years ago and got an A. I e-mailed AACOMAS about this and they said it would count as a repeat. If in doubt, e-mail them.
 
Thanks for your help. The chemistry and the biology I took, the two "for liberal arts classes", at my undergrad were both BIO 1000-ish and CHEM-1000ish. Well, the postbac Gen Chem and Gen Bio were both 1000 level classes, so I think it will work out alright. I will e-mail them just to make sure though. Thanks again.
