[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While a college might accept high school AP classes, I doubt a medical school (who has specific course requirements) will accept a high school O Chem class. My DS is an attending physician and community college classes were not accepted. Again, I am not talking about an English class, but the required courses needed to apply to med school.[/quote]

No.  O chem is NOT accepted by med school.  Not even gen chem.  You can’t use AP courses in lieu of college gen chem or ochem.  However, AP Cal BC (not AB) score 5 is accepted, you just need to take statistics for math in college.

I think AP physics score 5 is also accepted but not sure.  [/quote]
some schools, even ivy-level, allow skipping genchem and going straight into Ochem as freshman. They most certainly can be doctors. Med schools like to see upper level science after orgo including biochem and more. It is not a problem to use AP credit for genchem IF the college allows. These are feeders to med school that allow it. They know how to advise correctly in this situation. -Doc who skipped genchem entirely, went to a T5 med school, and has a kid who skipped one semester(how their school works with a 5 on AP chem).[/quote]
