<p>Sorry if this question has been asked before. I searched for an answer on here and couldn't find it, and I couldn't find anything especially informative on the UCLA New Bruins Website.</p>
<p>I'll be an incoming freshman in the fall. I've taken a fair amount of AP tests and City College Courses. Basically my question is this: How do AP test scores and City College classes transfer over to credit at UCLA? The website implied that they cannot count towards Gen Ed requirements, so does that mean that they can only count towards your major?</p>
<p>Also, does the score on the AP test matter for the type of grade you receive in that "course"?</p>
<p>The AP test scores trasnfers into credit as shown in the above site. They don't count towards GE, but can count towards major (if that's what it says, like for example, Math) You cannot retake any of the classes you already have credit for. All the units received can count towards the 180 units you need to graduate (excluding upper div units).</p>
<p>And you don't receive a grade for the course. It just shows that you completed the equivalent (if there is one) course and gives you the units.</p>
<p>You can go to assist.org to check out which of your CC courses transfer over. Generally speaking, only courses directly stipulated in the Campus Agreements on assist.org will transfer over to course credit in UCLA. Other classes, such as PE or Music, will transfer as "general" unit credit for UCLA; they will count towards the 180 units you need to graduate.</p>
<p>ap tests don't count for anything, especially if you are a science major.....i repeat ap test do not count other than stepping into a higher level of math or english...but it does not get you out of the requirement for college because you still have to complete a certain amount of quarters for each subject area IN COLLEGE. So basically, aps don't count for s*it!</p>
<p>alexinorbit is wrong. AP credit can be used to satisfy requirements for a major. The link given earlier tells you want specific credit you will get.</p>
<p>YOU ARE WRONG..IF YOU ARE A SCIENCE MAJOR...YOU HAVE TO STILL TAKE A YEAR OF SCIENCE, MATH, ENGLISH, AND OTHER CRAP.....especially if you are premed because grad. school don't care about ap credit.....ask any science or premed...i don't know how it is in humanities.</p>
<p>does the above also pertain to CC classes? That is, do grad schools accept CC classes as meeting the requirements, cause I have many cc classes that I can transfer over, and hopefully by combining those with 7 AP class credits, I can enter as soph status??</p>
<p>CC classes <em>do</em> count, as long as UCLA will accept them for class credit. If it's just unit credit, then no. Check on assist.org.</p>
<p>I've heard from pre-med advisers, however, that you shouldn't take too many CC courses, or even CSU courses, during your stay at UCLA. Reasons are:
1. Courses taken at a CC or CSU will not count towards your UC GPA.
2. Med schools will start to wonder why you still took CC classes even though you're able to take them at UCLA. Their line of thought would be like: "So, you got into UCLA, but you're still taking CC courses? Does that mean you cant handle a school like UCLA?"</p>
<p>And APs do help you out still, because they can give you higher class status (soph, junior, etc.) They also allow you to skip certain classes; as for the having to take a certain amount of units each quarter (ECP), you can always add on a minor or double major. They also help you reach your 180 unit minimum for a B.A. or B.S. in the College. </p>
<p>But for grad school, like alexinorbit said, you'll want to check. Med schools do want a full year of the core science classes. APs will not satisfy those.</p>
<p>I see, so as of right now, I have about 7 APs with a 3 or higher and about 6 overall CC classes, and I hope to transfer all these to LA next fall, however, should I consider taking some CC classes this summer too, to get rid of some classes that I definitely will not be majoring in, for example, english or history, since I wanna do bio major? </p>
<p>Basically, do you recommend taking CC classes in between HS senior year and college freshman year to get rid of GE classes?</p>
<p>Sure. If you haven't passed the UCLA Advanced Writing Placement Exam, you can take an English class that will satisfy Eng Comp 3. That will take care of the Writing I requirement.</p>
<p>Just remember that if you take a GE at CC, that's one less GE that you can put in your schedule to lighten your science workload.</p>
<p>I just transferred to UCLA in the fall, and I was pretty disappointed to find out that my US Gov't AP exam was unable to exempt me from taking American Politics. Sure it gave me the credit and fulfilled the "American Institutions" requirement for UCLA, but since Poli Sci is my major, I was required to have a letter grade for the class.</p>
<p>I got into UCLA and plan to study chemistry, does passing the AP Physics B exam do anything? The UCLA website says it corresponds to General "B". What does that mean? Will that help me since I need to take Physics 1A-C?</p>
<p>If You Are A Math Or Science Major, Especially Premed, You Do Not Get Credit For Ap Tests. You Might Skip A Level Of Math But You Still Have To Take A Certain Amount Of Math And Science Courses At Ucla. I Passed The Physics C Examination And I Still Have To Redo All Of Physics!!!! That Sucks, But Grad Schools Do Not Take Credit For Ap Tests.....</p>
<p>no you should chill for the summer...trust me there will be a lot of opportunities to take summer classes in the future....plus you should get acquainted with ucla before taking summer classes...</p>
