Take credit or repeat? (again)

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>So I know this has been gone through so many times but I have no idea where we landed on this issue.</p>

<p>Should I take the credit for Bio, Phys, Chem and Math in college if I have med school as a possible future option in mind? I'm not at all sure what I should do.</p>

<p>I've heard everything from "its fine" to "no, med schools want to see that" so I have no idea. Also, apparently intro to Bio is harder than AP etc, so I dont want to place in a harder class and die. I mean I'm not talking about grades here (well, mostly ;)) but I don't want to be absolutely shocked my first semester of college.</p>

<p>Also, I don't like Physics and I really wouldn't want to repeat that. I will though if it's necessary for the MCAT.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>Are you talking about AP creits?<br>
The first Bio is much harder than AP (should not be even compared). Normally it is required for pre-meds, including the ones with “5” on AP exam, you would not have a choice. I do not know about Physics, but you need it for MCAT anyway. Math is OK to take AP credit, so is English, History,…etc.</p>
