<p>Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on your school’s policies.</p>
<p>Most schools have a list of courses that are considered “writing intensive” and will fulfill your school upper level writing requirement. The list of acceptable courses should be available at the school’s writing center.</p>
<p>Other schools offer an add-on writing portion to certain upper level classes to fulfill writing requirements. (And the class needn’t necessarily be a traditional term paper-based class. D2 fulfilled her writing requirement through an add-on to one of her senior math classes.)</p>
<p>At still other schools, a senior honors thesis will fulfill the second writing requirement.</p>
<p>The most important thing is to check the policies at your school since it’s your school which must certified (via your transcript) that you’ve met their requirements for 2 semesters of writing credits.</p>
<p>RE: AP credit. While AP scores may give you credit for the lecture portion of a science class, it usually will not give you lab credits. You will still need to have lab credits for 4 semesters of chem and two semesters of bio to eligible for medical school admission.</p>
