I interview for a med school, and many students enter college with credits from APs etc. If the student took AP Chem, for example, and passed out of intro chem, then there is no grade, but it is important to see grades for organic, advanced bio etc. Not sure how an "A" from a CC would be viewed vs and "A" from a 4yr university. There are many non-traditional student applicants these days. Lab research and volunteering are important.
