<p>Most of the BS/MD and Premed programs allow AP Credits. But they seem to be picky on Scince classes.</p>

<p>Other than Science, would they accept all my AP credits? I have scored 4's and 5's in all exams. I am really looking forward to skipping English, Calculus, Physics (if possible). </p>
<p>Please post your thoughts.</p>
<p>From what I understand, you still have to take most of the classes again during the bs/md. Take, for example, penn state’s 6 year program. They have a schedule at their website that seems pretty strict. You need to take calculus, physics (i think), and some sort of english course (once again, I think). So, the ap class really only helps to boost the gpa and increase your chances of getting into the program itself.</p>
<p>That sucks. I am going to try local programs like UM, USF. I was told that UM accepts all non-science classes. This will lessen my load. I have to work on research and MCAT. Not to repeat my AP classes.</p>
<p>It all depends on your school, you need to check the school’s website that you are applying to the BS/MD program for.</p>
<p>In general, the only issues with AP credits and medical schools are in the pre med requirements. Gen Chem, Gen Bio, Phys, maybe calculus/english if they’re required (calc is prob required). However, what is usually done for most med schools that won’t accept AP credit is that they will allow you to take an upper-level course to supplement for the pre med requirement. So if you accepted credit for AP Biology for General Bio semester I & II, you would need to take an advanced Biology course with lab to satisfy your General Bio pre med requirement, like microbiology.</p>
<p>If you’re going to medical school, best advice would be to retake those courses anyway. You will want that GPA buffer. Maximize your potential, and <em>minimize your losses</em>.</p>
<p>I am currently in the Penn State program. Yes, all your AP credits will transfer. However, as I was given advice I can also tell you that you might want to either repeat Chemistry or Biology as that gives you the opportunity to catch your breath when you start college to give you that A that you are looking for. The only credit that does not transfer as a one to one is English. You will have to take it again…the rest of them will count towards other credits…</p>
<p>If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to provide…</p>
<p>Thank you all so much for your input and it makes perfect sense now.</p>
<p>At my D’s school they are rguired to take very first Bio despite AP. Thanks goodness that they do! D. said that it is not possible to continue successfully without foundation of the first class. I do not know about Chem and Physics, D’s HS did not offer AP’s for neither. While first Bio was very very challenging with good number of Honors student falling out of pre-med track after it, Gen. Chem was the easiest science class in college, D. had over 100% in all her tests, and she never had AP. Physics was on a harder side, somewhere in between. D. is in combined program, but all in a program are taking classes with general student body and have to follow general reguirements of their selected major in order to graduate. You got to figure out reguirements at your school.</p>
