Chem6A v Chem6AH ?

I don’t think there’s an option to ask for them to place Chem6A on your transcript for an AP. The student in my year had to either take Chem6A for no credits/GPA at UCSD or taking Chem6AH. They recently (just last fall) made it so that chem6A and chem6AH are the same… if you can could the so many more hours you place into honors to learn nearly twice as much at a faster pace the same. If you needed to “review” the subject, they’ll just tell you to take it. There’s no trying to get it on your transcript from AP credits. They won’t even note that you passed up to equivalent of chem 6A, they just note how many AP credits you got (well that’s what my unofficial transcript looks like). Also, if you DO decide to take the honors just to replace Chem6A, you can simply just drop back into the regular series for Chem6B and chem6C.
For the pharmacological chemistry major, it doesn’t really matter, I have a friend who took the regular series and did better than I did (but she also did study and whole lot more than I did).
