knowleka Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi - I took two courses at my university and got grades I wasn't happy with. Because I didn't fail them, I wasn't able to retake them at my university, but instead retook them at a community college nearby. I ended up getting better grades in both. When picking my courses that fulfill the prerequisites required by the school, should I pick the course with the higher grade but taken at the community college? Or should I choose the lower grades taken at my university? I'm having a hard time deciding what would look better Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureVAPA Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Pretty sure you're obligated to submit all transcripts from all schools, meaning you actually need to submit both.

ajames Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 If you're talking about the program materials section when selecting pre-requs that fulfill requirements, I would select both courses that count and all other courses that count toward that requirement. They always verify with your transcripts to make sure your pre-requs are met with whichever you select though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I took an introductory organic chemistry class that had a lecture and lab combined but also took the first upper level organic chem class without the lab. So when a school asks for organic chem with lab, would you suggest I choose both the course with the lab and the upper level course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allegro Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Some schools only want you to meet the requirements, not exceed them, as they can see all your classes on your application, but want a shorter list for pre-reqs. I'd only put the course that fulfills the requirement - so the course they are asking for, with the best grade. If in doubt, ask the school directly as their answers will vary.
