<p>Most med schools will not accept AP credit (chem, bio)unless you go on to take another year and lab on the same subject. Son's advisor strongly suggested that he not use AP physics credits (5,5)towards his major in physics.</p>
<p>However he was extremely well prepared for the college courses because of his AP classes and cruised through much of freshman year. High GPA and time to get adjusted to college were the benefits. Although he got a 5 in Calc bc and 800 m SAT he retook calc 2 and was really glad he did.</p>
<p>He was very happy to use AP credit to do away with a number of general ed. requirements though and it allowed him to complete the foreign lang. requirement before stepping into college. Now that was a huge savings.</p>
<p>So they all came in handy even if he didn't use them all when he got to school.</p>
