<p>i will be recieving so many AP credits that i could probably knock off a year of undergrad study? However, how do medical schools look at this. Should i accelerate my undergrad by accepting the credits, or should I take the classes over for an easy A and spend 4 years, or should i accept the credits and just spend my last year taking higher level courses or maybe extensive oversea's or volunteer projects?</p>
<p>Is money an issue here? If so, then by all means save a year of expenses. If money is not a big issue I would not be in a big rush to graduate for a couple main reasons ... if you have lots of AP credit you can take a lighter load and help your GPA for your med school application (or take lots of cool electives (my preferred alternative)) ... second, you're going to work for 30-40 years after med school; don't rush to get to work; take full advantage of college and your chance to explore life.</p>
<p>Med. Schools don't like AP credit. They would rather see you take a higher level of a required class then use AP credit for it. Your best bet is to take higher level bio/chem/physics and normal orgo, and then apply to med school when you finish that. There is no use in knocking off a year or two and not taking thos sciences classes over agian.</p>
