<p>I know most medical schools do not accept AP credits. So, for example, even if I pass AP Calculus BC and get credit, medical school does not consider this or use it to satisfy their requirements...............</p>
<p>So, are ALL AP courses useless for those of us who want to go to medical school OR are there certain ones that med school accepts?</p>
<p>The reason I'm asking is because I got a 5 on AP English language. So, by skipping out of freshman english course and taking a tougher course, it's not like i'm doing myself a favor right because med school doesn't count the 5 on the exam...so i can just take the regular english classs and have a better gpa?</p>
<p>Yup I think its true that AP credit does not satisfy Med School requirements but still I think you should take a good english class so that you can improve your writing and reading abilities for the MCATs.</p>
<p>verbal section on mcat will still be a killer. med schools don’t accept ap credit, so you’d still have to take 3 quarters of english/writing to satisfy requirements. practicing verbal with exam crackers or any other test prep book will help. writing comp classes can also help (4W, 100, etc.).</p>
<p>im gonna try to take english classes senior year. i dont know about the university writing req…if im forced to take it early then i guess i will but i know some kids that havent done it.</p>
<p>ive heard too many stories about writing/english classes with biased/subjective professors.</p>
<p>i dont think its necessary to take english classes for mcat verbal either. sciences, yea definitely, but not english/writing.</p>
<p>I just called HArvard medical admissions and they said that you may skip that first level of english but… you still need a full year of english. Therefore you need to take the next level course and an upper level course (Harvard specifically requires the course you take have expository writing.)</p>
