autobot said:wow I didn't know there were High school kids on SDN. I guess they wanted to get a 3 year head start on the application process. How long has SDN been around? Are there people here that started getting on SDN in high school and ended up going to med school? Thats alot of years of reading people freaking out about hearing back from med schools

BubbleBobble said:Yeah. I took 10 AP tests, and ended up only using the credit for the language ones.
hamhamfan said:Yeah, if I could do it over again, I'd look really carefully at what the schools accept. The teachers hyped up the AP tests so much... and then when I got to college, I realized how little some of them were worth.
BTW, i thought that med schools didn't accept AP scores, so people had to retake the courses.... it's too late for me though

ms2209 said:AP scores were pretty useless. I wound up with tons of credit, but it hasn't done me any good (at our school, even if you get credit for them, you can't place out of any of the classes). However, I have to say that taking the classes was a great help in preparing for college level work.
