Is it worth it to retake classes that you had tested out?

[basarachobits]

I have a AP credit on Physics, I am wondering if it is worth it to retake it since some dental schools do not accept AP credits (like Tufts)?
And my second question is what other dental schools do not accept AP credits?
third question, can general chemistry count as inorganic chemistry?

I thought so too, but when you look at the prerequisites of the dental schools, mostly they say inorganic chem is required. So, I was just confused. Thanks.

definitely take the classes!!!!!
nothing is better than getting an A in a class that you didn't have to study that hard for...not to mention getting better prep for the next class.

gen chem is DEF not o chem. I think if one of the schools which you are REALLY intrested in that don't take AP credit, then you definitely should take the class.

quoting "Additionally, the Admissions Committee will not recognize pre-requisites completed by earning Advanced Placement credits. Applicants who have received college credit and/or placed out of pre-requisite courses because of AP credits must either retake those courses at a four year institution or take an equal number of credits in upper level coursework in the same discipline at a four year institution."

gen chem = bit of every little easy topics
inorganic chem = more advanced chem that doesn't involve carbon
organic chem = chem with lots of carbon and rxns.

The 3 are very different courses.
