<p>Now my dad asked me about it and he told me that once colleges see I’m applying as a pre-med or Bio major without AP Chem, they will automatically reject me</p>
<p>Uh, no. First of all, no schools do not reject you if you don’t have AP Chem. colleges know that they’re are all kinds of reasons that people don’t take a certain AP class - doesn’t fit in their schedule, school doesn’t offer it, conflicts with another req’d class, etc…</p>
<p>Secondly, you don’t have to apply as “premed” (that’s not a major at 99% of schools). And you don’t have to be a bio major either. But even if you were, not taking AP Chem won’t matter for admission.</p>
<p>Lastly, I don’t know what kind of undergrad you think you need to attend to get into med school, but any good school (good state school, good private) is good enough.</p>
<p>Where does your dad expect you to apply? </p>
<p>BTW…a “poor grade” in APChem at midterm will look worse to colleges than no APChem class at all.</p>
