Hey Everybody,
First off I'd just like to say Hi, I've lurked around this forum for probably a good year now and have learned tons of valuable information. I would say that I'm pretty well informed in terms of what goes on AMCAS. I have not, however, found ANY information about the Project Lead The Way courses. When I was in high school I took 5 of these classes (starting in 9th grade). Let me give you all a little background about these...they are just normal high school classes (taught in the high school classrooms) but at the end instead of a final you take a test that can potentially gain you college credit. AMCAS says that any class taken for credit needs to be counted. While I did gain credit, does it seem right that it wasn't really an official class? I got a C and a B on two of the exams and therefore a C and B in the course. I'm a bit disappointed that this will probably need to be counted in my AMCAS gpa.🙁
It says here that if I send the transcript to another university that the grade will not transfer but will AMCAS see that anyways and count it??

This has really been bugging me for a while. If anybody knows anything about Project lead the way classes or whatnot please share here.
