<p>and advanced standing is a three year thing? which i prob. would'nt want to do right unless i really knew what i wanted to study. so that means my APs mean nothing?</p>

<p>You generally need 5's to pass out of a course. Also, advanced standing means that you graduate after 6 or 7 semesters depending on which you want, and you can do those semesters at any time during those 4 years. Thus, you could take a semester off to do other stuff.</p>

<p>APs mean you can do the advanced thing or the BA/MA thing if you have enough, or you can get into higher classes as an underslassmen...don;t fret all those APs weren't for naught</p>

<p>Yeah, but to do the BA/MA thing you have to take lots and lots of classes, including lots and lots of graduate-level classes, in your department, which still means you need to know what you want to concentrate in almost immediately.</p>

<p>Placing out of intro classes is good, except when it means oh yay, I can take chem 17. And usually the process of placing out of an intro class when you don't have APs goes something like this:</p>

<p>You: Hey, prof, can I take your non-intro class?
Prof: Okay.</p>

<p>Phoenixy is absolutely right. The only times AP actually counts in your favor are if you actually activate advanced standing.</p>
