Thank you for your wonderful input! That’s just the sort of answer we’ve been looking for!
He is looking at double majoring (Biochem and something else in the humanities, I think he said a language/literature major).

He’s currently in CalcBC and doing very well, so he might use AP credit there.

With my son, he’d have credit in Chem, Calc, and probably Bio (taking it this year, but is expected to do well according to his teacher), but he’s been awful hesistant to use AP credits in undergrad. So, that’s good to know.

Can you test out of lower-level courses using AP credits (or simply testing-out), and still satiate the AAMC requirements? That’d probably be the best solution for him.

Also, judging by your schedule, one can choose when to take his/her curriculum requirements…that’s great!

Out of curiousity, do you know if the University Honors notifications come early or on Apr. 1?
