<p>according to a bio session during o-week,
med schools, top ranking ones at that, do, in fact, accept advanced placement credit
for ap calculus.
yes, not for science and writing related topics, but for calculus bc.</p>

<p>still, i was a bit hesitant and signed up for calc i anyhow, but
it's very redundant and i feel like this is taking an unncessarily large portion of my time.</p>

<p>is it true? do med schools accept ap calculus credit?
if so, i'd rather take another class in place of calc 1110</p>

<p>premeds/succesful ex premeds- any advice?</p>

2

<p>take statistics instead?</p>

<p>actually, i was hoping for a non pre-med related course,
since i pretty much hate all of my classes right now</p>

<p>i guess the best thing would be to make a list of med schools i’m interested in
and call 'em up individually</p>

<p>most medical schools accept. a couple don’t i believe. what year are you? it may be kinda early for you to be worrying about these things right now…</p>

<p>As far as I know, the ones that actually require Math, you can use AP credit (but I’m only a Freshman as well…)</p>

<p>Do what I did:</p>

<p>Take AP Calculus Credit for AB (gets you Math 1110).
Pass go, collect $200, and take Calculus 2 (Math 1120).
Ass is covered for 99% of medical schools.</p>

<p>that or you can also take statistics which may be a requirement for some research positions</p>
