<p>When you use your AP credit to take in place of a class at Tulane, do they give you a 4.0 for the class, or do they just not count if when they calculate the GPA?</p>
<p>For example, I have a 5 in AP Chem, which can be in place of 8 credits. Will they give me 4.0 for those credits or will I just get the credit without the GPA being calculated into the total?</p>
<p>The AP “will not” be used one way or the other when calculating your GPA at Tulane.</p>
<p>One obtains AP credit via testing, not by performance in HS courses. I know of no college that awards credit otherwise.</p>
<p>So it would help me getting a higher GPA by getting an easy A retaking the classes that I can be exempted from with the AP score?</p>
<p>Not sure I understand what you are asking?</p>
<p>What I’m trying to ask is that when students use their AP score to exempt from a class, and get the credits, do they get a GPA with those credits?</p>
<p>No. One gets the credit, but GPA is not affected.</p>
<p>Good enough! Thanks! Then I will retake my calculus to get an easy 4.0 although I already have a 5 on AP Calc</p>
<p>we had a thread about this several months ago. I came to the same conclusion as you.</p>
