Hello SDNs,
I am a freshman doing Biology major, hoping to apply for MD/DO in four or five years if I get good GPA and MCAT scores. I have completed so many APs in high school, got good grades in all APs except Chemistry (B+) and Physics (C+). I have the option to skip Chemistry as I got 5 in AP test. Some of my friends in my school are skipping Chemistry. I want to get the expert opinion (@Goro and other experts) if there are any disadvantages in skipping chemistry because of my B and C grades in high school. When I submit my application for MD/DO, I was told that I have to submit my high school transcript if I do not take any mandatory courses (use APs to get the credits). I am planning to take Physics though I have the option to skip but I am debating on skipping Chemistry.
If you use any credits from high school to complete the graduation, do we need to submit the high school transcripts?
If yes, will there be any disadvantage with one B and one C in high school?
Thank you.
