Summer classes before taking pre-med route

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>Hi, i am about to graduate from high school and plan on taking the pre-med route in college. I was thinking about taking a few summer classes at a community college like bio one semester, chem one semester, and calculus I. Would it be better to get the credits from these classes to get out of them in college or take these classes just to prepare myself for the MCAT and take them again at the college that i will attend? I was thinking about doing this because i have no AP credits for college. I know many people who have AP credits and therefore have a better experience in all these subjects and will probably perform better in college because they have more experience. Could these college courses be like substitutes for AP high school courses? I may be attending U of M next year. Thank You!!</p>

<p>Do most people with AP credits use them to get out of classes in college. Would it be better to take those classes again in college (especially a science course) because it would prepare you more for the MCAT?</p>

<p>About APs I've taken a lotta APs and will prolly use 0 of the credits I should use. I'm doing engineering though so that might be a different story. Even if I didn't do it I could only use a few of the credits and they woudn't be for med school prereqs.</p>
