In Need of Clarification

So I am about to enter my freshman year of college and am planning on pursuing a pre-med track; however, I keep hearing warnings about claiming AP credit and such and I’m kind of confused. Can anyone clarify why claiming credit is looked down upon?

With AP Scores I can receive credit for:

2 English Classes
Calculus I and II
1 Year of Introductory Bio
Macroeconomics
US Govt/Polts

I would like to claim credit for everything but in doing so I would be replacing my extra time with a few upper division biology courses however I don’t wish to go any further in English or calculus. I know how tough the application process is for medical school so if I do find myself applying I don’t want to be limited by anything as small as this. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
