Students must consult with their pre-health advisor AND the appropriate medical schools on a regular basis for revisions to prerequisites and to ensure completion of all application requirements.
Contact individual schools if you have Advanced Placement (AP) credit for prerequisite requirements. Each professional school has their own policy on whether they accept credit from AP and community colleges. Students must contact the individual school themselves to determine the requirements for course planning.
