I have AP credits for Biology. As most of you know, there are some schools that do not accept AP credits. Does that mean that i have to take Biology 101 and 102 with labs, or can i fulfill the requirement through my major with higher level biology classes such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and A&P? I am a biology major.

If gen bio is not req'd, then upper-levels meet the req.

Whether you're staying for a degree or just sticking it out for 3 years, you should be able to accumulate enough upper-level hours to surpass the requirements.

Some schools specify "two semesters of introductory biology classes with lab" and they cannot be substituted. Best to call schools where their requirements are not clear and be sure. Why waste application dollars if you don't have the requirements?
