<p>I am a HS senior. This year, I took BC Calculus and most likely ended up with a C for this semester (the highest possible it could be is a B). I did not have AB first.</p>
<p>I have heard that med schools will look at your high school grades to make sure you weren't slacking off then. If the rest of your transcript is solid (especially the sciences) and as long as you do well on the AP (4 or 5), will they really care that much?</p>

<p>Not true. Medical schools are interested in college-level or higher coursework.</p>
<p>shades_children is right. But medical schools will be interested in ALL grades from ANY college-level or higher work (classes at actual colleges/universities, not AP classes) you do, even if it was done in high school.</p>
