Med school and AP scores

Applying to College

<p>I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question but I can't find anywhere else to post it.</p>

<p>So I just finished my first year of college and I'm planning to graduate in three years. Today I heard from a friend that many Medical schools do not accept some or all AP credits an applicant uses and this might be a problem for me since I am relying on these somewhat. I have a series of questions based on this premise.</p>

<p>I've been searching a while online and it's been hard gleaning which universities accept which AP credits so I was wondering if someone could direct me to a list somewhere or posts which med schools accept which credits.</p>

<p>I'm particularly interested in the following schools:
Johns Hopkins
Duke
Vanderbilt
University of Washington in St. Louis
University of Chicago
Harvard
Emory</p>

<p>Anything else weird about these schools particular acceptance requirements would be greatly appreciated as well!</p>

<p>Also I have a question about chemistry in particular:</p>

<p>I am using an AP credit to exempt general chemistry but if a college will not except this AP credit can I use a biochemistry (I have to take this class for my major) credit to satisfy that credit instead?</p>

<p>I’ve heard that many med schools only accept AP credit for math. However, you can substitute a higher level chem class for an AP credit used for a pre-req. You should post this on the Pre-Med Topics Forum under Graduate & Prof School though.</p>

<p>Many who are good at these subjects want to take the basic classesin colleges. For med school it’s all about GPA and science GPA. These can be easy As.</p>
