I passed 11 AP exams with 4s and 5s and I was wondering how medical schools deal with AP credit. I have already taken gen. bio and gen. chem even though I received 5s on both AP exams because an advisor said it was better to take prereqs at a university. Is this true? I also took the Physics B exam, which is non-calculus based and I was wondering if I should take physics at school anyways.If I should, then is it better to take the calculus based physics or are two semesters of intro. to physics sufficient for the MCAT and medical school? What about calculus? I took the AB exam, which only exempts me from one semester of calc and I was wondering if AP credit is sufficient for allopathic schools. Do most med schools require one or two semesters of calculus? I now realize that taking all those AP exams was pointless because I just have tons of elective units. I should have been more selective of what exams I took because all that strenuous work was for nothing. As far as the science exams, it seems I shouldn't have taken them because I have to take the courses anyways right? Or am I wrong? I would greatly appreciate input and advice from those of you who are in the process of applying or have applied to medical school. I would really really appreciate your time! Thank you! =)
