As norcalguy said, the A- will definitely count when applying to med schools because AMCAS requests transcripts from everywhere you’ve ever received college credit. It might not count toward your GPA at your undergraduate institution (although some schools treat transfer credits in different ways–my school gives credit but doesn’t figure the grade into our gpa).

You should probably talk to an advisor in the college’s biochem program about what to do about the AP test. First, there’s probably some sort of rule that if you pass a class higher than calc I, you don’t need the actual calc. I credit (or you can take a different math course). Also, if you come in with credit for calc II, the registrar might not allow you to take a class beneath it for credit.
