I'm finalizing my application but I have a question regarding a grade exclusion I received from a university I attended. I received a "D" in trigonometry (not sure why I took the class considering I didn't really need it) and had it excluded from my GPA and didn't receive any credits for the class. Do I have to report this to TMDSAS as a "D" or can I list it as incomplete or withdrew passing/failing?
 
Exclusions from your own school don't matter when applying to any med schools. You have to report it as having received a D in the class with full credits (however many it would have been).
