undergrad 1: poor grades (all C's)
biol 220 human anatomy & physiology 1 - 3 hours
biol 220L human anatomy & physiology 1 Lab - 1 hour
biol 221 human a&p 2 - 3 hours
biol 221L human a&p 2 Lab - 1 hour

total 8 hours



undergrad 2: (all B, B+)
anatomy 1 + lab = 6 hours
anatomy 2 + lab = 6 hours
physiology 1 = 4 hours
physiology 2 = 6 hours
physiology 3 = 6 hours

total = 28 hours


Will the classes from my second bachelor's replace the ones from my first, or are they not considered "identical"?

Do I really have to take more A&P to replace the poor grades from undergrad 1?

It's really hard to say whether or not those can be called identical. It would seem that the course content within each individual class in the second bachelor's is different from any individual class in the first, so while overall the material may be identical, the classes themselves may not be. That said, you can probably mark them as retakes and attempt to explain to AACOMAS your situation; they may let you get away with it.
 
Thanks semicolon. I think I am going to wait until this application cycle is a little more into the swing of things and contact AACOMAS when things have cooled off.
