Im entering my first year of undergrad in September and wanted to know my chances if I were to apply to NJMS after my first year of undergrad since NJMS only needs 90 credits to matriculate. If I come into undergrad with about 30 AP credits I will have 90 by the end of my second year of undergrad. If I were to go about this route what sort of extracurriculars would I need to do to show that I am mature enough to enter med school? And is it possible to get accepted?
 
AP credits show up on your transcript, but AMCAS assigns them 0 credits. I entered freshman year of college with 38 AP credits, and AMCAS counted them as a grand total of zero. They're fine for meeting prereqs as long as they're on the transcript, but they're not college credits.
