I’m the only person in the program to not have to re-test. I’m also the only person who got straight A’s on the reports from the paramedic preceptors



That speaks more to the quality of your program than you.



Next, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics. There. 3/4 courses



Try again - you’re continuing to show your lack of knowledge. There’s nothing wrong with that, given your age and experience, but you shouldn’t be so confident about things you don’t know much about.
No university in the country is going to give you a full year of credit for those AP courses. AP courses pale in comparison to actual undergrad science courses. I dont’ think they should be given any credit, but what can you do? At UCLA, you might get out of one class in the 3 course year-long series (i.e. one quarter’s worth) - and thats if you got a 5 (and maybe a 4 also, can’t remember) on the exam.



Calculus is only recommended but if you are good in math you would have taken calc in high school.



What do you mean it’s “only recommended”?? I can guarantee you with 200% certainly that there are many med schools that require (not recommend) a year of Calculus+Statistics. Same with English. I already said that this is not a universal requirement, but for you to assert that they are just “recommendations” is ridiculous.



Goizueta Business School. I have to apply my sophomore year for the BBA program–just like a nursing program.



And again… not all of them! - stop generalizing from an n of 1.

Well at this point, I’m with bluebayou on this one - if you’re so convinced, go for it. Let us know how it goes.
