<p>Its true, a lot of med schools do not like AP credits, however, I’m not sure what looks better, being able to take higher courses earlier, or taking the all the premed courses in college.</p>
<p>For instance, many medical schools have requirements worded such as “8 Hours of Chemistry” now, this is easily fulfilled by just taking 105/106/113 and then 223/224 or 323/324 (honors ochem) and 233/234 (the ochem labs). There, thats 10 credits in two years.</p>
<p>But if you get AP credit, you can take the ochems your freshmen year and take a class like inorganic chem, p-chem, or the CHem department version of Bio chem (yes, they are different).
And while those are probably not applicable to the MCAT, nor are they applicable to most of med school (Hell, many of the prehealth courses aren’t anyway), having a different and more rigorous course work than the avg premed student might set you apart when it comes to applications.
I’m not a prehealth advisor, so don’t quote me on that, but its worth discussing with a counselor or advisor.</p>
