I know classes you take at other universities count towards your med applications, but I was wondering about university classes taken before UG.

I took Precalc and Trigonometry (A's on Both) at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks my junior year in HS so I could take Calc my senior year. I was wondering if they counted

They counted for me.

I went to a high school that was on a community college campus, so I had a ton of units. And after all, they still show up on the college's official transcript no matter if you were in high school at the time or not.

Yes, I took community college classes in high school, and it counted towards my application GPA. (It actually lowered my GPA by 0.03 points, 👎)

what about a class like Trig or algebra 2 taken at a community college? I took them when I was in middle school. Would that actually count towards the GPA? 1.) isn't it considered "remedial"/ college prep? 2.) it was before high school.
Thanks.

If the classes are on your community college or university transcript, then it probably does count towards your GPA (you should double check with someone else to be sure), since med schools will eventually want official transcripts from all of the colleges and universities where you did coursework. Do you know if those classes might have been taken on a community college campus but were on your middle school transcript instead?

they are on my CC transcript (which include courses throughout high school and during the summer after my senior yr but before my freshman yr at my current school). The only option I can think of is to write an addendum to let the adcoms know. I'm not pre-med btw (although I may switch back someday). Sorry for hijacking this thread.
