AP Bio useless for CBS majors?

I’m a junior in high school and I’m hoping to apply to CBS at the U of M next year to pursue either Microbiology or Neuroscience. It seems like taking AP Bio in high school is useless for this though because according to the AP credit page at the U’s website, the AP Bio exam will only get you credit for Biology 1009. However, the CBS majors don’t include this class in the required courses, they include Biology 1001.

It seems to make more sense to take AP Chem in high school which, according to the AP credit page, would give me up to 8 credits. Getting me out of Chemistry 1021 and 1022. Which are both required courses in all the CBS majors.

Is this right?
