ap credit and GER's

<p>can someone explain me whether i can use ap credit to fulfill GER credits?</p>

<p>emory's site is really vague about this. i specifically wanna know if ap chem and ap bio could fulfill the science GER's.</p>

<p>Yes you can.</p>

<p>Edit: FYI, I’m a sophomore at Emory and I did this myself. Just so you know I’m not BSing you :p</p>

<p>Emory accepts all 4’s and 5’s on AP tests to fulfill GER requirements.</p>

<p>is there a limit on ap’s?</p>

<p>It’s like 32 credits or something </p>

<p>Every AP except for BC Calc is worth 4, Calc is worth 8, so that’s about 8 AP tests of 4 or 5</p>

<p>do ap’s count into GPA? because a 4 in ap exam is like a B in a college course. So if i got a 4 on an exam, would it factor into my GPA?</p>

<p>No. You get credit for the course but not a grade. It’s equivalent to passing in the pass/fail system.</p>

<p>awesome :slight_smile: thanks.</p>

<p>Does a 4 or 5 on AP Eng Lit count for the First Year Writing Requirement? Anyone know the weblink where it is described?</p>

<p>Yes. A 4 or 5 on AP Lit counts for the First Year Writing Requirement. </p>

<p>thanks amadani. But I was looking specifically for something that says: “A 4 or 5 on AP Eng Lit (or Lang) will exempt (or fulfill) Frosh from the Writing Requirement”.</p>

<p>The reason I ask is that some colleges will provide AP Lit credit for an unspecified English course and credit hours towards graduation, but do NOT allow an AP credit to fulfill the Frosh writing requirement.</p>

<p>I’m not sure where it is stated officially but AP Lit/Lang is used for the frosh writing requirement and nothing else (you get credit for ENG 101/181 but it does not allow any other English credit).</p>

<p>If it makes you feel any better, I also used my AP English credit for my freshmen writing requirement (ENG 101), even if it’s not stated explicitly. You can use either AP English test for credit, but Emory does not take both. However, both fulfill the same General Education Requirement.</p>
