I am currently a high school senior who is going to college in the fall. I was lucky enough to gain admission to a BS/MD program, which I will be attending in the fall. I have looked at my college’s website and I meet their required AP scores for credit. When I asked my parents about sending scores they said that I should refrain from sending them as I would be put in tougher courses which would make it more difficult to keep my GPA up, I am required to keep a 3.5 GPA to stay in my program at the college. They won’t budge and I would like the credit, due to the fact that I will be taking placement exams and most likely place out of introductory courses through those placement tests, so doesn’t it make a lot more sense to get credit for a class I will most likely place out of? Any input is greatly appreciated.
