<p>I will have a substantial amount going into college BUT that would give me sophomore/junior status which is a problem because then I’d have to declare a major after freshman year. By the end of freshman year I would have acquired 4 semesters worth of credits, and after 40something credits, you must declare a major. So… I’m skipping the credits and really only will use them to place into upper level classes rather than as credit.</p>
<p>I’ll enjoy my higher enrollment priority and ability to take upper division math classes as a freshman, as well as the possibility of an MA in 4 years.</p>
<p>I won’t enjoy being contacted by the Alumni Association because I’m a senior for 3 years.</p>
<p>Are those all credits that apply for YOUR program, or just credits in general? I have 21 transferred (potentially 23 with summer classes), but I have a lot of other credits that didn’t get in. I would have had 36 or so if I went to my state U - at the very least they told me though.</p>
<p>I got them from CC and a couple from APs. They definitely help if you wanna graduate early and save the money on college and I would strongly suggest doing them. </p>
<p>Though, I wanted to get the max transfer credits in - I really didn’t really know what I was going to major in college, so I took the most general of courses. If you REALLY know what you wanna do, you could probably get a lot more than I did. I know someone who graduated from CC before he graduated from HS. He got into i think Virginia Tech as a junior and graduated early.</p>
<p>Im pretty sure it looks damn good on your college resume if you say that you already have a degree in your respective field…</p>
<p>Also, im ***<em>ed that my AP bio credits didn’t transfer. I got a 5… and people with 4s in chem and physics got 8 or more credits. *sigh</em> so unfair…</p>
<p>I’ll have 58 hours going into my freshman year… 22 from dual-credit courses and the rest from APs. I have every gen ed requirement completed already except for my school’s “Cross-Cultural” requirement, which I’m taking care of first semester. So I’ll have seven straight semesters to do what I want and double major.</p>
<p>Only 18 
My school didn’t accept ANY of my dual-enrollment credits from my local CC. Also, they just give 3 or 4 hours for 4/5 on APs. Nada for a 3. None of them can work my general education credits either, just “elective credits”</p>
<p>Started with 26. Kind of wish I had started earlier and gotten up to 30 so I could call myself a sophomore…</p>
<p>I’ll be starting with 13</p>
<p>6 from CC
3 from AP
4 from Placement Tests.</p>
<p>“only 18” relax my dude … thats a lot of credits lol</p>
<p>Starting with 42, I think. 23 from AP credit, 19 from dual enrollment. They are going to dwindle because I’m taking such light course loads. Trying to pull a Van Wilder and stay at U-M forever.</p>
<p>AP Bio-6 credits
AP Chemistry-4 credits
AP Physics B-8 credits </p>
<p>I guess i’ll have 18 going in but I can’t use any of them since those classes are required for med school.</p>
<p>2 from an early studies program at my state’s university. i failed at getting any credits from the APs</p>
<p>I have 28, all from APs and a bit of placement credits, and I would have had more had I understood how great they are. But still, they aren’t <em>that</em> great. You can graduate on time without any credits going in. As it is, I get to take one class of Spanish and get credits for the one before, place out of English classes, and only take one math class… so I’m fairly happy, although a lot of people have insane amounts of credits.</p>
<p>46, all from AP tests. To take advantage of this, I will still be graduating in 2013. But with a master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>Most people promote AP tests, stating that “it’s so much cheaper than college!” But, if you’re still going for 4 years, and your college has a flat rate for anybody taking 12+ hours (or so), then what was the point of those AP tests? Sure, it got your General Education requirements out of the way so you could take more major-specific classes. That is true, and it is a good thing. But it really didn’t save you money.</p>
<p>That’s why I’m taking advantage of the situation and completing a 5 year program in 4 years. And I only have to take 14 hours on average per semester, versus the 15-16 usually required by this program and that’s for people over 5 years. Very win situation for me.</p>
