<p>@Derek, I’m pretty sure life science majors have to take at least three math classes, and AP Calc can get you out of one or two classes.</p>
<p>Maybe someone could help me out on this because I may be wrong, but I think part of the reason AP sciences aren’t accepted is because many grad schools (including med school) don’t accept the credit for Bio, chem, physics, etc so UCLA doesn’t. Not sure about math. There are a series of science and math courses that are required for med school. On D’d MCD Bio brochure it says you have to take the complete series in bio, chem and physics because HS science AP classes don’t necessarily cover everything you need to know to move to the next level. ie Life Science1, Life Science 2, etc. I think you may be able to use Calc though but that is the one I’m not sure on.</p>
<p>So with an engineering major, I won’t get anything for passing the Physics B test? Is there any point to take this ap test?</p>
<p>It is my understanding that we will get elective units that might help us graduate earlier and help with enrolling in classes. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>If you guys check the link on the first post, it shows that depending on your score, you can get out of one or two Calculus classes. However, for med school, you still need to take a year of math, so with the AP credit, you can take higher, more difficult math courses.</p>
