<p>I've read info about getting into med school, and ive seen that med schools require students to meet certain class requirements like a year of bio+lab, a year of orgo + lab, etc. </p>
<p>It also says that we need a year of calculus. If I were to have taken the calc BC ap test and gotten a 5 (which would finish off calc I and II at hopkins), would I still need that year of calculus or do my ap credits cover it?</p>
<p>Avoid using AP credit for pre-reqs.</p>
<p>Could you explain why?</p>
<p>Some medical schools won't accept them.</p>
<p>^ wait, so does that mean that if I get a 5 on the AP chem exam, I should still take chem 101 in college?</p>
<p>Probably. Instead of genchem + orgo, you could always take orgo+pchem. So the question is which you'd rather do. Genchem is useful for the MCATs and (usually) easier than pchem.</p>
<p>My experience has always been that orgo+biochem works just fine, but others on this board report that it wouldn't have sufficed.</p>
<p>pchem = ???</p>
<p>Physical Chem.</p>
<p>GoldShadow is right. Avoid using AP credit for pre-reqs. Retake general chemistry, biology, and physics ( and ofcourse Orgo) theory before junior year; some college might let you take lab of those in sophomore year.</p>
<p>Bluedevilmike is wrong. If you are nonchemistry major and premed, never take physical (pchem) and analytical chemistry (achem) instead of general chemistry. They are not only hard, but also not the prereq of MCAT, so your gpa will be low.</p>
<p>... which is probably why I said: "Genchem is useful for the MCATs and usually easier."</p>
<p>BDM is one of the resident CC experts! He is always right.</p>
