<p>is it better to use ap credit in freshmen year to get credit for classes or is it better to not use the credit and keep a familiar schedule while adjusting to college. just a little on me, i am a biomed engineer major and plan on going to medical school or some kind of graduate school. which course of action would be preferable in the long run when planning to pursue a graduate degree?</p>
<p>This page from the Health Professionals Program seems to address your exact concern:

<p>If you take the credit, you can take fewer classes each semester. If you don’t take it, you’ll have one (at most two) easy semesters in college.</p>
<p>BME is only available as a 2nd major, so you’ll have to do some other CIT as your primary. </p>
