The only time I’ve regretted taking the AP credit was when looking at graduate schools. Some graduate schools do not take AP credit, which is something to think about if you are considering going into a field where schools have prerequisite requirements.

<p>By this, do you mean medical schools with respect to pre-med course requirements? PhD programs probably are not looking at whether you skipped a frosh-level course with AP credit; they are looking at your record in junior/senior-level courses, undergraduate research, and recommendations.</p>
