A little help with credits:

<p>Hi guys, I was told by a friend (full scholarship to UCSD so he has connections XD) that I am able to switch colleges (mostly GE purposes) after I accomplish the writing classes, and am able to convince UCSD that I can graduate with fewer academic quarters in another college.</p>

<p>He says that I will definitely graduate faster in Warren then I will in Sixth:
One, because my major is Electrical Engineering, and two, because I've taken 11 AP's.</p>

<p>Here are my AP tests and scores:
Sophomore:
Physics Mechanics 4
Physics E and M 5
Calc AB 5
APEC 4</p>

<p>Junior
Calc BC 5
APUSH 3
BIO 3
Chem 4
Environmental Sci 4</p>

<p>Senior
Stats TBD Probably 5
Compsci A TBD Probably 4/5</p>

<p>Can anyone help me figure this out please >.<;;</p>

<p>You're lucky.. my school only offers AP classes to juniors and seniors. </p>

<p>I only took 2 AP exams. English and USHistory, passed them both with 3s. I should've tried, probably could've gotten 5s if I did. I'm taking 3 this year. Physics B, Government and English. Not expecting to pass any. -_-</p>

<p>Lol, anywho with that many APs, can't you just go directly into sophomore year? Some girl from my school went to Long Beach State as a sophomore because of AP exams. Yeah it's a calstate but I'm sure she had less APs than you.</p>

<p>yeah I already looked at the site.</p>

<p>But I have to compare both Sixth college and Warren college =/
And this is where it gets kind of difficult because they have different GE's...</p>

<p>Anyone else that can help?</p>

<p>Z didn't someone say that you can get out of the writing req. with a 700+ on SAT I writing?</p>

<p>OH SHOOT YOU'RE RIGHT.<br>
But, I think it depends on which college. Because I know my friend that got a 2280 on his SAT, lowest being CR. And his writing was definitely over 700. He was complaining about his writing class Xd;;</p>

<p>700+ on SAT I writing only excludes you from the "Subject A" UC writing requirement....</p>

<p>mmm, well question is. Does anyone know if I can finish Electrical Engineering in Sixth College in three years with these AP Credits? XD;;</p>

<p>Switching colleges is very frowned upon. What I'd suggest is calling the Sixth College Academic Advising people during their office hours and ask about the possibility of graduating in three years. I'd say that it's very unlikely in any college, because engineering here is notoriously drawn-out. I'm a CS major, so I should know.</p>

<p>When I've repped the university at admit days and preview days, they've told me that there is essentially no changing colleges, so I'd stick to that. And honestly, I have a friend who's in Sixth and loves it (he's an engineering major as well).</p>

<p>As for your APs, honestly most of them won't help you either way. The two physics scores collectively get you out of one class, the calc another two, history is pretty much the same for both, bio doesn't really matter, same with env. sci, same with stats, and same with compsci unless you get a 5. Chem I'm not so sure about for EE majors. In all honesty, though, AP credits matter much more on the university and major level than on the college level.</p>

<p>Mmmm, I was looking at the AP Credit transfer things. And I found that with the non AP Physics and Math ones, I was able to waiver a lot of my GE's.</p>
