AP Credit questions

<p>I am an admitted freshman planning to do Engineering. How many of the following AP Classes would I be able to transfer and what courses should I start with at Cornell. My AP classes at the end of senior year in high school will be as follows,</p>

<p>AP Chemistry (5), AP Biology (5), AP Physics B (5), AP Calculus AB (5), AP Calculus BC (5), AP English Lit. (5), AP Macro (5), AP US History (4), AP Government (5).</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>First link</p>

<p>This pdf does not specify what the engineering school accepts. Will I be able to use AP USH or AP Macro or AP Gov to fulfill any engineering requirements?</p>

<p>For Math/Science, use this [Cornell</a> Engineering : Advanced Placement Credit Table](<a href=“http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/academic-information/ap-credit/ap-credit-table.cfm]Cornell”>http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/student-services/academic-advising/academic-information/ap-credit/ap-credit-table.cfm)</p>

<p>For non Math/Science, you can use AP credit to satisfy Liberal Arts requirements.</p>

<p>In Engineering, you are required to take a minimum of 18 credits of Liberal Arts satisfying several requirements.</p>

<p>These are the requirements [Cornell</a> Engineering : Liberal Studies](<a href=“http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/programs/undergraduate-education/degree-requirements/liberal-studies.cfm]Cornell”>http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/programs/undergraduate-education/degree-requirements/liberal-studies.cfm)</p>

<p>This is the table that shows what gets you credit for liberal arts requirements <a href=“http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/adv_placement_intl_credentials.pdf[/url]”>http://admissions.cornell.edu/downloads/adv_placement_intl_credentials.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Does anyone have the credits for CALS?</p>

<p>you can get credit for basically all of them and you’ll be able to graduate early if you want. engineering is really good about taking AP, it all counts.</p>

<p>Thanks…</p>

<p>Liberal Studies guidelines from Cornell website state the following,</p>

<p>The six courses must be chosen from at least three of the following six groups.
At least two courses must be at the 200 level or higher.
Group 1. Cultural Analysis (CA)
Group 2. Historical Analysis (HA)
Group 3. Literature and the Arts (LA)
Group 4. Knowledge, Cognition, and Moral Reasoning (KCM)
Group 5. Social and Behavioral Analysis (SBA)
Group 6. Foreign Languages (not literature courses) </p>

<p>I don’t understand these groups fully. APUSH probably falls under group 2. Where do AP Macro and AP Gov fall and how many credits can I get for those?</p>

<p>Use the PDF mike gave you, take note of the courses that teh AP credit will replace. Then go to the courses of study (can be found on cuinfo.cornell.edu), look up those courses adn there will be a little code next to the course saying what category it is in.</p>

<p>so AP Gov, as an example, is SBA.</p>

<p>AP Macro is also SBA, but yes, use the procedure vivace gave to find out what group each class satisfies.</p>

<p>keep in mind that, in CALS, there is now a limit on how many AP credits you can come in with (30).</p>

<p>I don’t know if you have access to StudentCenter yet - you can access it at jtf.cornell.edu - but you can access your transfer credit report there which will show you what courses are equivalent to your AP classes and whether or not you got credit for them.</p>

<p>Off the top of my head…</p>

<p>Chem = CHEM 2090
Bio = BIOG 1101
Physics B = nothing
Calc AB = nothing
Calc BC = MATH 1910
English = ENGL 1100 (one semester of freshman writing seminar)
Gov = GOVT 1111 (SBA liberal studies)</p>

<p>AP Macro probably gives you credit for Introductory Macroeconomics which is a 1000-level SBA liberal studies course, and APUSH will most likely be a 1000-level HIST course which can be used for HA liberal studies credit. All of these can be found on the lists that others have posted.</p>

<p>I have access to student center but nothing is populated there other than my personal details.</p>

<p>You mentioned Physics B gets no credit but the pdf says the following against Physics B.</p>

<p>Placement out of Physics 1101–1102. Students who also have a score of 4 or 5 on
Mathematics BC may choose to accept 4 AP credits for 2207 or 1112 and then take 2208 or 2213. Students in the College of Engineering should refer to for credit and placement information.</p>

<p>On the Engineering website it says: 1112
4 or 5 on mechanics portion of C; 5 on B with successful completion of a high school level calculus class</p>

<p>So, as an Engineering student will I get credit for 1112 with my Physics B 5 and AP Calc BC 5?</p>

<p>Yes, you will.</p>

<p>What about AP credits at A&S? I got a 4 on AP World and a 5 on APUSH, and I’m hoping to get similar scores on US Gov & Politics, Statistics, and French.</p>

<p>I know that at least 100 credits must be from A&S, but can AP credits be counted towards the other 20 needed to graduate? I heard that you can use the credits for placement but won’t actually be awarded credit…not sure if that’s true or not.</p>

<p>You can be placed into a higher level class and still get credit (for example, if you took Chem AP and placed into honors gen chem at Cornell, you’d get 8 or so graduation credits). Or you can get credits towards graduation without having to take a higher level course in the subject.</p>

<p>norcalguy, does that apply to all subjects, or just specific ones such as chem? The only APs I took are listed in my previous post…no science APs for me :/</p>
