Secondly, I know that you are required to take the actual courses and you can’t use AP credit unless you take upper levels for that course blah blah blah (but again, that is dependent on the medical school), but that’s not the point I’m trying to make. I stated that you can take 3/4 of the courses in high school to support my point that it’s really not that many courses and in reality, you can learn the knowledge of three of the 4 courses in high school.



No, it is NOT dependent on the Med school. What IS a variable is IF they will let you use AP credit to replace intro level coursed and IF they will, what they require to make it happen. For example, Texas Med schools require that your transcript reflect the college course (by both number and description) that has been replaced by the AP class and also require at least one math class actually taken “IN COLLEGE” so no AP class will work for that and they also require an additional year of BIO.

Most HS AP classes are not even close to the equivalent college class so to state that you “can learn the knowledge of three of the 4 courses in high school.” is almost laughable.

You need to learn a little humility and you are making yourself look foolish with the pronouncements you are stating as facts.

The people offering you advice have either been through the Med school admission process and are getting ready to start classes this fall or are currently in the application process or like me, have a kid who is in already in Med school.

We’re trying to help you because you’re on the wrong track if you follow the path you are currently taking. Put aside the hubris and listen to what we’re offering.
