Advanced Standing + A 4 on an ap...

<p>At my school, we are only allowed to take 2 APs in Junior Year. I took Comp Sci A, which I am sure I'll get a 5 on, and APUSH. I was having a TERRIBLE day for APUSH, and I might have gotten a 4.</p>

<p>I'm only taking 4 AP's next year, because I'm taking classes beyond AP: Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Beyond AP Compsci.</p>

<p>In order to qualify for Advanced STanding, you need 5 5's on certain APs, right? If I get a 4 on APUSH, and if I get in, I can't. Compsci doesn't count, and since they eliminated AB, I can't get any credit for that...</p>

<p>Is there any way to appeal? This isn't a omfg your not going to get in thread, I understand the odds lol. I'm just wondering, in the off chance that I do get in, how do I deal with this? I'm taking classes that are harder than APs...it just doesn't seem right</p>

<p>Actually, one is required to have obtained scores of 5 on four AP exams that are recognized under the policy as one-credit courses to eligibly qualify for acceleration (four credits represents one full semester of credit). Those are as follows:</p>

<p>[ul]
[<em>]Art (History)
[</em>]Biology
[<em>]Calculus BC
[</em>]Chemistry
[<em>]Economics (micro and macro)
[</em>]English (literature and composition)
[<em>]French (language)
[</em>]French (literature)
[<em>]German (language)
[</em>]History (European)
[<em>]History (United States)
[</em>]Italian (language and culture)
[<em>]Physics B
[</em>]Spanish (language)
[li]Spanish (literature)[/ul]</p>[/li]
<p>Below qualify as half-credit courses:</p>

<p>[ul]
[<em>]Calculus AB (or Calc AB subscore)
[</em>]Computer Science AB
[<em>]Economics (micro)
[</em>]Music (theory)
[<em>]Music (listening and literature)
[</em>]Economics (macro)
[<em>]English (language and composition)
[</em>]Latin Literature
[<em>]Latin: Vergil
[</em>]Physics C (E&M)
