Hello everyone, I had a quick question. I tried to google this question/ ask advisors and friends, but I feel like I'm getting a lot of conflicting answers. So basically in highschool, I got ap credit for biology and psychology. I was wondering if I could use that credit for med school requirement biology class + lab and psychology credit. I would like to note two things: 1) I am a chemistry major, so my curriculum will not be based upon taking lots of advanced biology electives and 2) I am taking a genetics class right now which should make up for my biology requirement just in case medical schools don't accept my ap credit. I do not plan to take the genetics lab course, so if they don't accept my ap credit will I have to take my genetics lab course later? thanks for the help i appreciate it a lot.

It will depend on the school. The programs I have been involved with will accept AP credit. For biology, we will also expect taking upper-level biomedical science classes. If the undergraduate institution accepts it and places it on the transcript, we'll take it.

Should be accepted but you should also take upper division courses to show you can handle medical school.

This may depend on the specific school though.
