Yep they usually accept credits from other colleges - you have to write a short description of the class or just use the course syllabus, and show it to the department head (Math dept for Calc class, Psych dept for Pscyh, etc). Then the dept head signs the forms and you bring it to the LSP office and then they approve it and give you credit. Don’t worry about this now, you can get the forms once you come here from your advisor.

AP credits can’t be used for LSP requirements (except science) but they count towards graduation. Your AP English credits won’t get you out of any requirements, but they’ll still count as credits. Do well on Bio, it’ll get you out of the Science requirement (although you’re taking it anyway since you’re pre-med), they’ll make you do a placement exam for Spanish and determine how many Spanish classes you’ll have to take (try to do really well, and they use the SAT II as a placement test btw). Govt, History and Psych won’t get you out of LSP requirements, but they’ll count as credits toward graduation. AP Psych might help you skip Psych 101 and go into a more advanced class.
