AP Credit > College course grade?

Hey I had a major lapse in judgement. For some reason I took US History 2 semesters ago and did terrible (C grade) when I had already taken AP US History back in highschool and passed with a 3. I’m planning to transfer next Spring (at the latest).

My question is: Can my AP score somehow nullify my screw up, or must I retake the class? How will admissions see this?

Surely this is a question for the college you are planning to transfer to. You can look on the college’s website to see if they give credit for a score of 3. As far as the grade goes, it’s there on your transcript and I don’t think they will just ignore it.

Yeah that makes sense. Might as well retake the course just to save myself any trouble in the future. Thanks!
