Very few schools like Columbia, Vanderbuilt and Boston University do not take AP scores. Some schools only accept it for 1 semester (Tufts, U. Roch). I emailed/called a bunch of schools I was interested in and made a list of their replies. My question for them mainly related to AP physics because that was my problem but most of the replies should give you an idea of their policy. You may want to just quickly email them or check their site to confirm their answer. Note: I only covered schools I was interested in, sorry.
(whatever is in quotations = their reply)
-----------------------
University of Chicago Accepts AP credits. Recommends Taking Upper Level Biology
Our admissions process would also allow you to use your AP physics credits to complete the physics requirement, as long as you take 2 courses in another science discipline in their place(again, it sounds as though you are doing that as a biology major).
Mount Sinai Accepts AP scores
SUNY Upstate Yes, your AP courses are acceptable as long as they are shown as having been successfully completed on an official college transcript.
SUNY Downstate If your undergraduate college accepted AP credits and have posted them on your transcript, we will also accept your AP credits to fulfill our prerequisites.
Washington U. (St. Louis.) Accepts AP scores. For Biology, ONLY if you complete upper level Biology Courses. Recommends taking more physics and biostatistics
Dartmouth U. We do accept AP courses as long as they are on your official transcript.
Cornell U. We do accept AP credits for prerequisites. However, for English we require that you take one additional semester. For biology and chemistry, we recommend that you take two additional semesters of an advanced college-level course. If your AP Physics is comparable to 6 semester credit hours, we will accept that as well.
University of Michigan We will indeed take AP scores as courses to fulfill our requirements. However, we always recommend you also take upper level courses.
University of Rochester Advanced placement courses may meet only one semester of the chemistry and/or one semester of the physics requirements. Advanced placement will not satisfy the English, biology, or non-science requirements.
Northwestern Yes, we do accept AP credit for courses you mentioned. We do not have a Calculus requirement. It is recommended that you complete a yearlong Physics course prior to entrance to the School of Medicine.
Tufts Will accept Advanced Placement credits ONLY if you take at least one semester of an upper level of that course type.
Example: a student arrives at college with a semester of AP physics credit and then takes the second semester course in the introductory physics sequence. The student has one AP course and one college course, which together fulfill our physics prerequisite.
The situation that causes the most difficulty is this: a student arrives at college with a full year of AP physics. The problem is that the student cannot apply the AP physics credit towards our prerequisite because he/she has not taken any physics in college. This is a real dilemma because most premedical students are, understandably, not inclined to take upper level physics courses. The most practical solution is to take the second semester course of the introductory sequence, even though you have already received AP credit for the course.
University of Pennsylvania AP courses are accepted however, the credits must be noted on your final transcript and also, we need to see some college work (labs) done in these courses.
2nd response
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine does accept AP courses,
however, it is required that you take college level course work in this
subject. This can be in the form of a lab.
Johns Hopkins Hopkins will accept AP scores for Physics and Calculus. However we will not accept AP Biology. However you should not feel compelled to take introductory biology; if you have the opportunity to take advanced biology courses, that is fine.
Boston University BUSM does not accept any AP credits. Because you have been excused from required college level courses, other course at the same or higher level may be submitted.
Albert Einstein School of Medicine Formal advanced placement credit, granted by examination in an area of required undergraduate course work, is acceptable to satisfy that requirement. It is strongly recommended that applicants, who receive AP credits in science courses, complete advanced level course work in the subject areas in which such AP credit has been granted.
Georgetown Georgetown University School of Medicine accepts AP credits toward meeting our course requirements.
UMDNJ Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey We do accept Advance Placement courses.
Brown U. Applicants who have received Advanced Placement credit in one of the above areas may apply those credits for the satisfaction of the above requirements or may elect to take a more advanced level course appropriate to their academic background.
->Also requires 2 semesters in social sciences and one semester of Biochemistry
Duke Duke University School of Medicine will accept your AP credits if your college gave you the credit and placed it on your transcript.
U. Conn We do consider AP classes to have fulfilled the basic prerequisites so long as there is additional coursework in these disciplines that demonstrates mastery of the foundation material. It is fine to go on to upper division Biology work. You may want to consider a Physics Problems course that assumes you have the basic physics background and allows you to apply that background.
2nd response from U. Conn
We ordinarily accept AP credit provided there is sufficient evidence of rigorous quantitative preparation in college word (not necessarily in those specific courses).
Emory We will accept some AP credit, as long as it appears on your college transcript. As far as retaking physics, it is really up to you. By the time you take the MCAT it will probably have been at least 3 years since you have taken a physics course, so you may want to retake the class for that purpose. However, if you are doing an MCAT prep course or feel otherwise prepared for the MCAT it may not be necessary.
Stony brook At Stony Brook your Advanced Placement courses will count as long as your undergraduate school has accepted them and they appear on your official transcript, if they are not on your official transcript, then you must take the course.
Temple If you use AP credit to fulfill a pre-medical requirement, we like to see upper level courses taken in the same discipline.
Called in: want to see upper level courses on it but apply wouldnt be a problem as long as it is on AMCA and transcripts.
GWU Eight semester hours (six lecture and two lab) must be completed in each of the following fields: biology, physics, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. Six semester hours of English (literature and/or composition) are also required. We do accept AP credit as long as the credit is listed on your undergraduate transcript. We do not accept Biochemistry (unless it is a part of your recommended pre-medical sequence AND you completed the entire sequence).
We do, however, recommend that students follow the recommended pre-medical sequence at their college/university. If you have followed and completed the recommended pre-medical sequence at your school, we will accept your completed sequence as fulfilling our requirements.
Vanderbilt We dont count AP credit toward our requirements and all of our literature and website say that. So you will need to take upper level physics courses if you want to apply to Vanderbilt! You will need to indicate it on your AMCAS application. However, you will need to get this done by the end of the fall semester!
NYMC If your institution took the AP credits then we would as well.
Albany Albany Medical College does accept AP credits. We require 6 semester
hours of Biology, General/Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and
Physics; each to include a lab. If you take an upper level physics
course, be sure to indicate it on your AMCAS application.
Buffalo Your AP credit will suffice for the physics requirement (8 credits/2 semesters of intro physics). Thank you for checking with us. Best wishes.
Columbia I'm sorry but the committee does not look at AP credits. You would have
to take upper level courses in Physics.
Mayo We will grant prerequisite credit for any AP credits granted to you by your university
Penn State Applicants may have fulfilled many of the prerequisite requirements listed above by way of Advanced Placement courses. Penn State College of Medicine recognizes advanced placement credits only if they appear as earned credit on an applicants college transcript. However, it is also true that the most competitive applicants also will have fulfilled advanced course work in those same areas on the collegiate level during their baccalaureate years.
EVMS It seems they accept AP credit. Yes this is fine. Our requirements do not say "upper level".
U. Washington Thank you for your interest in the University of Washington School of
Medicine. Four semester credit hours of physics is part of the
prerequisite undergraduate science courses that we require. You will
need to indicate on your AMCAS application that you plan to take an
additional physics course. It is also recommended that you check with
other medical schools that you are interested in about your physics
credits since we have very minimal prerequisites compared to other
schools.
