I might be over-reacting, but do medical schools see and consider ALL AP scores students take in high school? If I got some not-so-great scores, like 3 in Spanish, would that be used against me? A score of 3 places me out of some of the language requirement at my college, but I know a lot of colleges don’t accept that score for credit, so would med schools disapprove of me using this credit?
 
A few schools highly recommend a foreign language, but that's to complement the science classes that are req'd and to round you out. Plus, it is nice to be competent in another language. That's not going to stop you from applying, is what i'm saying. As for what schools see, they get what's on your transcript, which will depend on your college. Does your your college put down actual scores? I don't know about disapproving, but i'd say you're fine. Calm down 🙂
 
just don't let them know you stayed back in 1st grade... you definitely won't get in

Your chances don't look to good. If you ever get a shot, be sure to go back in time and fix those problems. If you can't do that, try to be reincarnated into someone that does well on AP tests. 100% of the people that did well on the AP test breathed oxygen. 100% of the people that got into medical school also breathed oxygen. Coincidence? I think not.

You, OP, are a complete *****. Do people just hang around thinking of dumb things to ask? 😕

You'd think natural selection would take care of him. Guess there's no chimneys where he is...
