What are the best AP classes to take for pre med?

Best AP classes for Pre Med students

• AP Biology.
• AP Chemistry.
• AP Physics 1.
• AP Physics 2.
• AP Calculus B/C.

What AP classes should I take in high school for medical school?

If your school offers them, taking AP Biology and/or AP Chemistry are two of the best classes you can take to help you be prepared, since you’ll be taking multiple biology and chemistry classes in college. AP Physics is also useful since pretty much all med schools have a physics requirement as well.

Does AP count for med school?

Thank you for the A2A. Many med schools don’t accept AP credit; calculus isn’t a requirement for med school excepting high ranking med schools (Harvard comes to mind — they require up to Calc 2…or Calc BC). You’ll have to check at each medical school you’re applying to and see what their specific requirements are.

Do I need AP Chem for pre-med?

No you aren’t required to take AP Chem or any other AP course in high school in order to apply for medical schools or be on a premed track. Also most medical schools don’t look at your high school record that much, they focus mainly on your undergraduate record.

Do you need AP Chem for pre-med?

Students who pursue a pre-med track in college will need to study biology, chemistry, and physics at intermediate and advanced levels. The CollegeBoard’s data shows that students who receive a score of four or five on the AP Biology exam are more likely to succeed in intermediate biology classes in college.

What AP should I take?

2. The Best AP Classes Are Ones You Can Do Well In

• AP Chinese Language.
• AP Spanish Language.
• AP Art Studio Drawing.
• AP Art Studio 2D.
• AP Calculus BC.
• AP Japanese Language.
• AP French Language.
• AP Physics C: Mechanics.

Which is harder AP bio or AP chemistry?

However, our son thinks taking AP bio in junior year makes more sense since AP biology tends to be relatively ‘easier’ than AP chemistry for most kids and his next year classes are rigorous.

What classes should I take to prepare for AP Biology?

To prepare, you should take a normal biology class first, as well as a chemistry class. AP Biology is fast paced, but there are tons of labs that make it really interesting. If you are considering a career in the lab sciences, you should try to fit this course in before college.

What AP classes should I take to become a pre-med?

If you hope to go into medicine or other STEM fields, keep reading to discover which AP classes may help you the most. Students who pursue a pre-med track in college will need to study biology, chemistry, and physics at intermediate and advanced levels.

What are AP courses in college?

AP classes are a great way to explore subjects that aren’t usually part of high school curricula. Many AP classes, such as Computer Science, Psychology, and Economics, can give you a taste of college courses while you’re still in high school.

What is the difference between AP Biology and BS/MD?

The primary difference is that students in a BS/MD program will usually take higher level calculus classes earlier in their college career in order to accelerate their program. As discussed above in the pre-med section, AP biology is the class most closely correlated with future success in intermediate level college courses.
