AP (Advanced Placement) Credit not always recognized by colleges or universities, but some medical schools will provide credit for pre-requisites with AP credits. AP Credits can help high school students place out of classes in college and fulfill admissions requirements. But, not all medical schools consider taking AP credits as the equivalent of pre-requisite pre-med classes.

Since medical schools have varying requirements, we've established a database to help understand which medical schools accept AP credit and which do not. Having an understanding of this is important in the process of applying to medical school and can help you best plan your undergraduate curriculum.
