Hey guys.
I know that most schools require minimum of 90 credits as a prereq.
Does this mean I need to have 90 credits at the time of applying?
And does this 90 credit requirment also include credits I got from AP classes and pass/fail classes?
Thanks in advance!
 
You do not need all the pre-reqs by the time you apply as long as you indicate you will be fulfilling the pre-reqs before you matriculate (i.e. list it in your planned course for next year). I'm guessing this applies to credits.

You have to look at schools individually and how many credits your school is giving you and how they list it on the transcript. If a school does not accept AP credits, no. If the school accepts AP credits and your school lists all the AP credits you received individually, yes. If the school accepts AP credits but your school lists all your AP credits under "Test Credits" no since the school won't have a clue as to where those AP credits are coming from (happened with mine. Official transcript does not list them separately whereas my unofficial transcript does).
 
Does that mean I do not need to complete the prereqs a school is asking for if i have my bachelors and high DAT's?
