AP Organic Chemistry

[mapletree7]

<p>

Some colleges offer different organic chemistry courses for biology versus chemistry and chemical engineering majors (the courses for the latter would be more in-depth and difficult), so which one should an AP course emulate if such were made?

</p>

<p>Probably the former, as this would be a high school course.</p>

<p>

Lots of medical schools do not accept AP credit, and those that do often don’t accept it for the sciences. AP Biology and Chemistry, for example, generally cover the same material at the same depth as in the college equivalents yet medical schools like UCLA’s won’t accept it.

</p>

<p>I wasn’t aware of this. What’s the logic behind it? I mean, if they cover exactly the same material, why don’t the UCLAs accept it?</p>
