Most med schools will not accept AP credit except for Calc BC. If she uses her credits, she will have to make it up by taking more advanced classes toward the med school requirements. She needs A’s in her classes and for this reason I’d recommend retaking the intro classes to maximize her chances of having a good GPA. Not very many students can do well just jumping into Organic Chem (it’s very hard!) and I wouldn’t risk it with your daughter since she only got 4s on her AP tests so far. If she retakes, the AP credits will be lost. The more important thing is the GPA. Good luck!
