List of Medical Schools that take AP Credits???

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>hi, I would be a freshman at USF(University of South Florida) this fall of 2010, and hopefully in 4 years attend medical school. In high school I took AP calculus, and passed the AP exam with a score of 3. Honestly, this is the only subject I have ever had a hard time with. Luckily, I passed it and I thought I would not have to deal with it again. My major(Biomedical Sciences), requires me to take calculus1(which i got the ap credit for), and then take either calculus2 or statistics. My plan was to take statistics, however I found out that most medical schools do not take ap credits unless the score is a 5. The last time i took calculus was 2 years ago, this means I would have to take pre-calc, then calculus, and then finally move on to statistics. My questions are: Should I go and re-take this classes, have to pay for them and risk my gpa?.....Should i just move on to statistics and in the future look for a med-school that takes ap scores of 3?....taking pre calc,calculus again vs. better med-school?...should i settle?...is it worth it? </p>

<ul>
<li>Could anyone provide me with a list of med schools that take ap-credits of 3?...or just scores of 5?...or the ones that do not accept any ap credits?...any list that might provide me with a better insight. </li>
</ul>

<p>*Thank you in advance, for all the responses, suggestions, or advice. :)</p>

<p>Medical schools don’t “take” AP credit. If college credit is awarded for AP scores then many medical schools will consider the college credit. Thus, it is what your college awards that matters not medical school, or at least that is what my memory tells me. I’ve never heard of medical schools requiring you to send them AP scores. Many medical schools, however, still require you to take other science classes with labs to replace AP credit (take cell bio + lab for Bio 1 ap credit for example).</p>
