It is not uncommon, for those who know they will go the pre-med route, to take AP courses in high school to get extraneous courses out of the way.

So can they at least eliminate the first year? Organic chemistry? How much of it will they remember by the time they start their practice? Memorize, memorize, memorize and then forget about it.
