A Word to Those Planning on Attending Medical School

A number of medical schools do not accept AP chemistry credits. For chemistry majors, this is not a problem because they will get enough laboratory credits from taking upper level chemistry classes. Non-chemistry majors planning on attending medical school may have to retake Chem 121/122 and lose their AP credits, take Chem 201/202, or take another year of chemistry classes to meet the medical school's requirement. This page provides a list of medical schools and their policies on AP credits.  Always check the up to date admissions policies for any medical schools in which you may have an interest.
