Will graduate level classes replace the similar undergraduate ones?

The program I am in for a Masters requires us to take a 5000 level biostat class for four credit hours. I took a 3 credit biostats class in undergrad of the 2000 level. Will the grade replacement policy take this new class into account?
Thanks!

I think if the courses are close enough in names, one grade will replace the other.

I think so. However for me I never seen it myself since all of my courses aren't really repeated.

But I think if the courses are close enough in names, one grade will replace the other.

I hope that's the case. My first biostats grade was baaad haha.

pretty sure they wont if you are at the same institution. the class has to be very similar in the course description, level, or name

Hmm, different schools, same class name, majorly different course levels, but similar descriptions. Maybe it's a crapshoot?

Just put it. Worst case, they undeliver your app and you have to send them the course descriptions. Best case it counts....Besides just one replacement shouldn't make that big of a deal anyway.

I don't think so.

No, UG and Grad are different, and calculated differently...

was it just post bacc stuff, or were you working on a degree, i.e. masters? I think if its the latter then it won't replace, but the former would


But, yeah, just try it?

If the original is an UG class, only another UG class or a PB class can replace it. Grad classes don't replace UG even if they have similar names/descriptions (I asked AACOMAS for the OP).
