<p>Ok I'm sorry for making another thread about the AP Credit for this Exam, but I want to make sure I'm not self studying this Exam for nothing. Ok, I'm searching Emory's site, and I can't find if their Policy for AP's. All I want to know is they except AP: Comparative Government & Politics? I'm noticing many colleges aren't excepting this class, and I just want to make sure this college excepts it.</p>
<p>Anyone know?</p>
<p>If all else fails, google it.</p>
<p>The short answer is yes, if you score 4 or 5. It counts as a poli sci course, but i don't know which one.</p>
<p>MetalMeadwad,</p>
<p>If you want more definitive answers, try contacting the Office of Admission (assuming you are a high school senior applying for admission presently). The link that dgebll provided is a good reference for current AP information.</p>
<p>There are restrictions and policies that are subject to change without notice. That said, here are some things to think about re. AP exams:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Emory awards a MAXIMUM of 32 credit hours for combined AP and IB exams.</p></li>
<li><p>Only exam scores of 4 or 5 are acceptable for granting of credit (as of now).</p></li>
<li><p>Depending on your ultimate major (and its respective major requirements at Emory), some AP exam scores of 4 or 5, thus earning credit, may NOT help you much, and therefore may result in a waste of time/money if you choose to take the AP exam.</p></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>EXAMPLE: The AP Biology exam is considered an "equivalent course" at Emory of "Biology 120", which would satisfy a non-Science major's partial fulfillment of Emory's Natural Sciences GER requirements (i.e., science with lab). However, this same course is not suitable for a Science major, whereby the expectation is to enter into the Biology 141/142 courses during one's freshman year. Therefore, the credit given for Biology 120 is useless for most Science majors (e.g., Bio, NBB, etc.)</li>
</ul>
<p>There may also be other similar situations for other courses/majors, whereby the requirements of the major call for a more rigorous course equivalency.</p>
<p>As I said, the Office of Admission is your best source for counseling based on your specific circumstances.</p>
<p>I got credit for AP Comp Gov at Emory, it gives you credit for Political Science 120 (4 credits).</p>
<p>Accept* Are you ■■■■■■■■?</p>
<p>Chill, they screwed up. We know what the OP meant.</p>
<p>Emory actually now gives bio 141 credit for AP/IB higher level bio credit. I think that clause refers to the old bio series (I think back before 2008 or 2007, there was bio 141,142, and 143), you know, back when bio was hard. From what I’ve heard, if I were the bio dept or admissions back then, I would also have been reluctant to grant 141 credit.</p>

<p>A note: the clause about retaking if you have a 4 or 5 to lay groundwork for advanced coursework is complete BS. It is not worth retaking to even prep for 142 (I honestly think many w/AP and especially IB HL should be exempt from both and be able to start at either cell bio, organismal, or human genetics). The class is a waste of time for anyone having a history of knowing the material, and unlike chem, will not necessarily serve to boost ones GPA (though much more likely than chem to do so).</p>
