How disadvantaged would I be?

<p>How disadvantaged would I be if I were attending Duke’s Biomedical Engineering program without any science APs (because my school didn’t have the money for the classes)? The fact that they accepted me into the program should mean that they believe I have the ability to succeed in it. But, I frankly don’t think I’m very well prepared for college science courses, especially at Duke’s level. Should I study from AP Chemistry and AP Biology books starting now on my own? And this question goes for every other top tier college I may be attending (such as UPenn or Stanford if I get in).</p>

<p>BTW here are my stats, so that you guys can have a better picture of whether or not I’ll be prepared:</p>
