@Caberet1 Medical school will not look you down for using AP course for the pre-req. But use these 2 guidelines.
- First get the 1 page doc from your current UG univ Pre-Med Office. You need to clear the gate at Pre-Med office before thinking about Medical school. There they would have listed what AP courses will be given credit against what course number based on AP score. So make sure you meet all requirements of your pre-med office.
- If AP course is given credit, then make sure to do some advanced courses in respective areas so that medical school knows your academic capability in core BCMP areas.
My D was not keen on doing any AP courses at college since her college accepted all AP courses.
But in Bio, she did 4 advanced courses (Genetics, Molecular, Physiology, Entomology). In Chem none, but did 2 years of research in Chem dept and got 8 Honors credit hours (besides doing OChem1, 2 & BioChem). Math, only Stats she did. Only for AP Psych, though she got credit with some course number, Pre-Med office course number was different. So she was left with no choice do one course, though she felt the content was not that much different from what she learned in AP Psych. She was in a unique situation and she prevailed.
