Some schools will give college course credit for AP scores of 4 and 5. Search for “AP credit policy” on each college website.
My D was able to use AP credit for history, economics, English and Calculus 1. Her school’s pharmacy prerequisites only required Calculus 1 so she didn’t have to take any higher level Calculus classes.
I would not recommend skipping the intro college classes General Chemistry 1 and 2 and biology 1 and 2 with labs.
You will need a high GPA for pharmacy school admission and a good foundation of knowledge for taking organic chemistry and the PCAT.
