General Chemistry

[orioles128]

I have AP Chemistry credit and was wondering for schools that do not accept AP credit (ie Wake, BU, Columbia, Vanderbilt), if Biochemistry is an accepetable general chemistry course.

Biochemistry is by definition not general chemistry, it's organic. General chem in college is either physical chem or analytical. I would take at least one real gen chem class, AP credit doesn't usually work.

im using AP credit for gen chem. its fine.

out of the four you listed, im applying to two of them: columbia and vanderbilt. i dont remember columbia being strict about not taking APs? but i believe its fine. im complete there and have no queries from admissions. i called vanderbilt when filling their secondary and they let me sub in my biochem and another chem course i took (im a chem minor), and i have an interview there so that pretty much tells ya, its ok to bend the AP rule for vandy.

for other schools, i would call and ask.
