Hello,
Hope you’re having a good day. I am aware that this topic has been discussed repeatedly in different contexts, but I felt the need to ask again for more concrete answers. I’ll try to phrase my questions accurately.
I am not at the point to purchase MSAR yet, but 1). does it show whether or not each school accepts college credits resulting from AP? and 2). If schools generally don’t accept them, are the policies generally strict or flexible? For example if I got AP Biology credits so didn’t take Bio 1 and 2 in college but did well in advanced bio classes, does that checks out the requirement? 3). Even if they accept those credits does not retaking classes I got AP credits in look look like “cutting corners” in the eyes of adcoms?
Not being curious about any specific med school; just interested if there’s some general trend in a majority of schools.
Specifically, would I check out the Pre-reqs if I do the following for these subjects I got AP credits in:
AP Physics C: I got Physics I + lab credits at my undergrad for the AP, will take Physics II + lab next semester
AP Chem: got gen chem I + lab credit. Have taken and aced gen chem II and both OChems. Will take biochem.
BC Calc: got Calc 1 + 2 credits. Have taken Calc 3 at CC which credits transferred to my university.
AP Bio: got Bio 1 + 2 (intro sequence) credits. Have taken the intro lab here. Will take plenty of advanced Bio classes since my major is one of the biological sciences.
Apologies if the format of this post was hard to read. @gonnif @LizzyM @gyngyn anyone else. Really appreciate it.
