oh ok. I am (or should I say was) majoring in biomedical engineering. the major has a ton or requirements, but I thought I fulfilled a lot of them through my AP scores. This was the case until I was told that AP scores only cover the low classes, not the ones I need. So now, I have to take a bunch more classes that I though I could skip if I want to get the degree. I don’t want to do that because then college will take 5 years to finish instead of 4.

So I was wondering if, with the classes I have already taken, I can major in another, easier premed subject so that I get a 4 yr degree and move on to med school. I was thinking a biological sciences BS, but i don’t know

EDIT: oh, you’re right about how each college has its own system for AP credit, but most majors require actual grades for core classes. AP scores do not give grades, just credit
