So i'm a bit confused by schools accepting ap prereq credits. i've alreay submitted my app so i might be screwed.

do schools accept credit by department exam? cause i have 5 credits gen chem but it was received by a combination of ap credit and credit by exam. during undergrad orientation i took a department exam and since i passed gen chem AND got an acceptable score on ap i received credit for it.

how strict are schools about this? since i sent mine already will they contact me if its a problem (as opposed to just rejecting me without telling me why)?

You should have looked at every school's pre-requisite requirements to see if they accept AP classes in place for the regular courses they require you to take in a four year university. I passed out of an entire year of Bio + lab from my AP scores but I ended up taking the full year series plus the lab as a senior undergrad because most of the schools I am applying to said on their websites that they do not accept AP credits. I would call the schools and see what you can do. Good luck.
