About this listen
In this episode of the White Coat Club, Lindsey and Nicole from Moon Prep break down the role of AP scores in BS/MD admissions. They emphasize that while BS/MD programs value rigorous coursework, AP scores are not typically required—but they can strengthen an application, especially in science-heavy subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus.
The hosts discuss the importance of both AP classes and exam scores, offering guidance on whether to submit lower scores (like a 3) and how admissions committees view them. They also compare AP courses to dual enrollment options, advising students to balance rigor with extracurricular commitments.
Additionally, they provide insights on self-reporting scores through the Common App and how to send them officially through the College Board. Ultimately, while AP scores aren't mandatory for BS/MD programs, they can enhance an application and demonstrate academic readiness for medical school.
