Kiel Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Can AP courses be used towards medical school admissions? IE: grade 12AP english. Will schools that require an english course for admissions accept this? thanks in advance for your comments:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustylegs Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Kiel: It's been a while since I last went to highschool, but I was wondering what an AP course is. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiel Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Kiel: It's been a while since I last went to highschool, but I was wondering what an AP course is. Thanks! LOL. AP stands for "advanced placement." An individual that takes such course can take an exam, that if passed can be transferred into a university credit. This allows people to 'fast track' through university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everyoneloveschem Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I did IB English, and it counted at Manitoba and maybe Sask (don't quote me on this). I don't think it counted for Ontario universities, so you'd best email them individually to check. Don't want to assume, and get it wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would mainly just use this towards schools out west. thanks again:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 They generally do count, but be careful with the school. I have a friend that currently cannot apply to Alberta because he transferred his AP Chemistry. I haven't checked into myself, but not all schools accept AP transfer credits. Also, it may be worth your while to find out how the credit is transffered. If you are just given standing or awarded an actual grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfette Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I know that AP's are currently acceptable for UBC, Calgary, and all the Ontario schools. AP's are not acceptable for Alberta. I'm not sure of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 AP is acceptable at Manitoba and McGill for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
