This is not the case at all schools. If the undergrad transcript reflects the actual course that the AP class replaces (course and course number) it will count for many medical schools

Many people use this to bypass intro classes and get into upper division classes sooner.

It’s important to do the necessary due diligence by checking not only how your undergrad school reports/gives credit for A/P classes but also the policies for accepting A/P credits at the med schools you are interested in before it’s too late to rectify things if necessary.



True, although few things are true of all schools. There a quite a few schools, however, that want the course taken at a university (or some higher level course as a substitute) and not as an AP course. It is always best to check w/ individual schools to see what their quirks may be.
