I took two semesters at community college which were academic renewed. Subsequently, the letter grade remained, but on the official transcript, the units were changed to zero. No where on the transcript does it indicate what their units were. Will this count against me or not at all? thanks!
 
It will be on your transcript and ADCOMs will be able to see the course and grade. However, it will not be a part of your GPA calculation in any way.

I had a few courses that were zero credits and they were discussed in a few interviews despite them not being a part of my GPA.

How did you enter the course into AMCAS? Are you verified?
 
I entered them as "they exactly" appeared on the transcripts (Sorry I have had AMCAS tell me this over and over again lol). I entered them as zero units along with the letter grade. I figured they would not because one would need units to calculate a gpa lol. I have not been verified yet, my submission was the 13th with all transcripts in then so it should be up in the next two weeks at least
