I tried to search for this answer, but didn't find anything.

During my undergrad there was a period where I was quite ill and was unable to go to classes, and since my attendance was so poor, the university allowed me to drop the classes (anatomy and physiology) after the last date and even allowed me to drop the second part of A&P during the semester. Well I needed to take the classes over the summer to allow me to continue with my program track, so I took them at a Community college by my home. However, since I did not replace the incomplete grade at my undergrad university, they changed the Incomplete to an F. BUT, there is an NA next to it showing that the grade is not part of my GPA.

I don't need to count this grade when doing my science GPA correct? Or am I up the creek on this one. Thanks

If those grades are on your transcript, you count them and list them on AMCAS. You didn't drop those classes, you got Incompletes. Most schools require that you complete your coursework within a specified period of time or they become "F's". It looks like you didn't complete them but they are on your transcript and they have to be reported. If they show up as "F's" on a transcript and you don't list them, you will have problems.
 
Drats, I had a feeling it was gonna be like that. So is there any to repair this? Other then taking more classes. If I didn't count those 4 classes (2 lec and 2 lab) then as of now, my cumulative GPA was just over 3.0, but with those 2 F's and 2 D's it is below 2.5 and will take 8 more classes after my post-bacc at A- or higher to get above a 3.0

My current GPA from undergrad is a 2.47, but my post-bac is 3.83 with only 3 classes to go.
