AP Credits for Pre Vet Students—Good or Bad?

Most undergrad programs will take the AP credits (depending on score) but some vet schools will require that you take a higher level class while in college. I haven’t t heard of a program having trouble with gen eds. We used English and history. The key was that those courses be listed by name on the college transcript not just AP credit 6 hours. Talk to the college about how they show up.

You can also call and talk to admissions at vet schools you may be interested in and ask them directly. Most have no problem talking to you. We talked to the vet school where my son is about to graduate from back in high school and made a plan. His choice was to submit AP scores for gen ed classes but not for his science pre requisites . He chose to take gen chem I and 2, Biology, and Physics 1 and 2 at his university to get high grades and avoid the possibility of having to take higher level classes etc. The early admit program he got into required all science pre requisites be taken at the university so it worked out well. This can be university and student dependent so get info directly from them. Good luck!
