Advanced Placement (AP) credit may enable you to exempt out of an introductory Mount Holyoke course (departmental requirements differ). But medical schools usually do not accept AP credit to fulfill a premedical requirement. It’s best to take the AP credit and use it to get into more advanced courses. For instance, if my AP score exempts me from Bio 145/150, I may ask to take Bio 200 in the spring and then Bio 210, a more advanced course, the following fall to complete my two required semesters of bio.

Also, note that through the AP program you can earn credit for the lecture components of science courses but not for the laboratory components, required by all but one of the 125 M.D. programs in the United States.
