In my specific case I ap'd out of general chemistry and bio, but got As in pchem, ochem, biochem, and genetics. I also got a 14 and 12 on the PS and BS of the MCAT. Will this show that I have sufficient mastery of the prereq material?

Thanks alot!
Some schools will expect you to use it as Advanced Placement meaning that you take those exams so as to qualify for more advanced level courses in those subject areas. Some schools will not want to see you use the soley as a substitute for college classes, particularly the pre-reqs, without taking more advanced level work in those subjects.
