Hey guys so I have a couple questions!

1. So I am taking 2 electives at another college. Will those be counted into the AACOMAS gpa? And will I send them the transcript from that college? My college only accepts the credits not the grades.

2. So I got a D in physics I. Now I am retaking the class at another institution. When applying to med school will they replace the D grade with the class I took at the other institution? By "they" I mean AACOMAS.

Thank you guys for listening.
 
Yes, you send all transcripts from every college you ever attended. And yes, they do factor in retakes. The D won't count as long as you do better this time around.
 
Allopathic schools don't do grade replacement. I think they'll average the two grades that you get. So If you get an A, the gpa will be averaged with the D.
