Hi all, so I plan on applying this cycle, but I'm not sure about how some of the prerequisite stuff typically works. I took AP Chem and AP Bio, and they allowed me to skip general biology and chemistry classes. I understand that schools often do not take AP classes as prereqs (Makes sense, I took AP Chem in 2013), and I understand that it depends on the school, I'm just hoping to get a broad understanding of how it goes.

So onto specific questions:

I have taken P-Chem (A condensed one semester version of the two semester P-chem), would that count as a semester of general chemistry?

I have also taken various Chemical Engineering labs (Thermodynamics, chemical reaction engineering, heat and mass transfer) but have taken 0 Chemistry and Physics labs (With the exception of O-Chem). Would medical schools be willing to accept these labs in place of chemistry or physics labs?

There are also classes on my transcript that include 'lab' credits (I am taking an electrical engineering class with two lab credits, and the general chemistry class I am taking now has 2 lab credits), do medical schools count the 'lab credits' or just classes that are dedicated to labs?

Also, I am working on a research capstone project through the chemistry department that will have a letter grade for two credits, would that count for any of my chemistry labs?
