AP credit and College Pre med?

ok i am a sophomore in high school and want to follow the pre-med program in college and was wondering whether it was wise to use AP credit earned in high school to skip basic classes like biology chemistry etc. in college or should i just take them again .



I would suggest you take them again. I am about to go into college and I have quite a bit of AP credit, but I am not able to use all of it (especially science and math) because of the Med School requirements. Med School's have their own requirements - you can't use AP credit to skip out on the Med School prerequisites. Also, your major will matter. I am majoring in Biomedical Engineering, so I can't really get out of any math classes.





To summarize, you should talk to an academic advisor. See what the Med School prerequisites are and how they line up with your major. If you're majoring in a science (and planning to go on to Med School), you probably will not be able to use any AP credit from science courses.




Hey there, I am also a sophomore in high school! I think you should take AP science classes. They will save you a lot of money and will look good on your record. I'm taking AP Bio, you should too. This should give you a headstart on your college classes. Good luck to you :) x




I say don't use them. Skip like the labs and 1 credit courses but not the lectures. It should mostly be review for you and you can grab the A. THen you can have a solid GPA.




AP credits are better
