My Rant on Dual Credit Vs. AP Classes

<p>

<p>This might not look all that great from a medical school admissions standpoint. First, you’ll be repeating college courses, which does not look good. Second, any non-A grades will be counted anyway for medical school admissions GPA, even if you later repeated the courses for A grades.</p>

<p>Now, if you get an A grade in the DE course, and then take more advanced courses in the subject at a four year school and get A grades in them, then that may be fine for medical school admission purposes. But if you may get non-A grades or repeat the course later, that may look questionable – in this case, high school (including AP/IB/etc.) courses are preferred over DE courses.</p>
