Retaking an online cc class @ a 4 year

I took psychology, english, and Sociology courses at an online community college. I am about to retake them because I am seeing that some med schools require courses (especially english) to be at 4 year universities and not online. My question is what will this do to my gpa? I made A's in these classes online. Supposing that get A's in the classes on campus, will I just have one A from the on campus course factored in to my gpa or will the online A also be factored in, which would be two A's for the same course and be a decent little boost to my gpa? I hope that question is clear. Thanks for the help, yall!

You would get 2 A's as these are different courses at separate institutions.

Thank you for your response. Stinks to have to retake a class, but I'll take the gpa boost. Best of luck and blessings to you in your own MD journey!

I wasn't aware of this. When I applied to medical school I didn't see this requirement. I ended up taking about 15 credits at CC that transferred into my degree. Maybe that's why I got so many rejection letters. 😛

Lol...yeah I just saw that while checking out MSAR. But hey, all it takes is one acceptance...So congrats to you on that!

So true, and I feel fortunate for that. Good luck on your own application process. 🙂
