AP Credit Research Database

The MSAR Says No.
The Data Says Otherwise.

What "AP Accepted*" Means

These schools allow AP credit in lieu of a prerequisite — but require you to take upper-level science in the same discipline afterward. Which, if you are on the Fast Track plan, you were already going to do.

Why This Research Exists

The advice "don't use your AP credits — med schools won't accept them" has been repeated so often that most premeds believe it. It is also, for the overwhelming majority of schools, wrong. You do not build a four-year timeline around advice that has never been verified.
