I'm graduating from my college in 3 years (instead of 4) because of the AP classes I took in high school. On the AMCAS application, for my "freshman year" of college, my school requires that I put the AP classes that I got college credit for (and therefore was able to skip my first year)....Do these AP courses count toward my BCPM?

If you meant your BCPM GPA, considering you don't get a grade for AP classes, it won't affect it.

Why do you want to finish college in three years. I had almost had enough AP units to enter as a junior, but I'm still planning on going 4 years. It's your undergrad and you should enjoy it.

If you really want to finish school in 3 years (save tuition?), at least take a gap year. Once you get into medical school, that free time disappears quickly.

My suggestion is what I'm doing. Saving money by only graduating a semester early. It still gives about 8ish months off before medical school to decompress and prepare.
 
Hey, I graduated early with about 14 AP tests worth of credits and look what happened to my GPA ;p
