Hi! I’m a Florida Junior and was trying to select my courseload for next year.
I’ve already taken AP Statistics (5), Spanish (5), World (3), and Euro. This year I’ve taken Psych, APUSH, Calc AB, Chem, and Lang. Next year I’m signed up for Physics C, Calc Bc, Lit, Human, Gov/Macro, and a DE course in Art (I needed a fine arts credit to graduate). I’m also thinking of taking AP Micro and AP CS online but am still unsure.
I’m curious as to what courses would give me college credit, how many credits can I have going into college, how do I submit them, and how that would affect me if I plan on studying either business, engineering or both.
Thanks in advance!

You can submit your AP scores by indicating the university you will be attending on your answer sheet next year. The college Board will then send all your scores regardless of year.
As to how it will affect your application - it will have little affect. AP scores are mainly used for credit and/or placement.
You are on a Michigan thread but I am not sure whether you are asking specifically about Michigan. Here is a link to the relevant Michigan site: http://admissions.umich.edu/apply/freshmen-applicants/ap-ib-credit. Every university is different, and various schools within a single university may also be different. Some schools limit the number of credits you can receive from AP scores while others do not. Credit for some courses requires a 5, often a 4 or 5 and sometimes even a 3. Go to the website of colleges you are considering and search for AP credit. You submit them through College Board generally after you accept a certain college. The Common Application asks for your AP scores but generally you don’t have to submit the scores from College Board (and pay the College Board fee) unless you plan to attend the school.
LSA. and CoE are very different in AP credit policy.
Note that once you got over 55 credits, you need to pay upperclassmen tuition. Having extra useless credit may actually cost you more.
You may withdraw any AP credits by the end of the first semester though.
Yes, I am talking strictly of Michigan. I know I want to study either Business or Engineering. I see the credits awarded in the CoE but where would Business (Ross) fall under on that website? Thanks @2135ar
I don’t know that much about Ross but I don’t think you are part of Ross freshman year so maybe LSA rules apply and then stick. Anyone know? Note that in the link I sent before LSA is listed after CoE.
@2135ar Yea, I saw. Is there such thing as entering Mich undecided? and then you would transfer to ross? or would you enter LSA? Im really uninformed about this hahahah
I believe you are accepted by a particular school (LSA, etc.). If undecided, LSA would make sense. Then you apply to go to Ross sophomore year (unless you are a pre-admit).
Alright thanks for the help! @2135ar
I believe the credits are granted when you first enrolled (whichever school you are in). When you later transfer to another school, the credits will still be there.
