Core Chemistry Requirements:
- General Chemistry: Two semesters (or three quarters) with associated labs.
- Organic Chemistry: Two semesters (or three quarters) with associated labs, often considered the most challenging prerequisite.
- Biochemistry: One semester (or quarter) is often required or strongly recommended, usually with a lab component.
For medical school, AP Chemistry can grant credit, but
many med schools don't accept it for core prerequisites, requiring you to take college General Chemistry (Chem 1 & 2) anyway to ensure a strong foundation and meet diverse school requirements for upper-level courses like Organic Chemistry.
