So ... physics was the one of the few classes I ended up not taking in college because of AP credit.

Just noticed that Loma Linda didn't accept AP Physics. Is it worth even applying at all? Can I make a special request? Will they even notice the lack of college physics on the transcript?
 
If you can make a special request without particular motives, everyone can make a special request.
If everyone can make a special request, the rule is useless.

They will definitely notice. You shouldn't apply.
 
It probably won't come up until you are accepted and planning to matriculate. Do they take community college credit, and would you be able to squeeze it in during the summer before med school if you had to?

You can always call their admissions office and make sure they don't make exceptions, but if you don't plan to meet their requirements, I wouldn't bother applying.

Also.. Why do you want to go to LL? Are you aware of there unique code of conduct and other requirements of their students? If you are aware of these things and still want to apply then I suggest you just take physics over the next year somehow. Loma Linda can be a great school to apply to if you think you fit their mission and ideology (since not many people do).
