<p>Hey guys. I'm taking AP English, Euro History, Econ, Stat, and Calc AB. I looked on USC's website and it seems that Euro History satisfies a GE, and Econ and AB Calc count for some credits too. What about English and Statistics? Can I get anything out of the way if I get 4/5's on those two?</p>
<p>There may be some department that MAY waive a statistics requirement but it is very, very likely that you will only receive elective credit for a 4/5 on either of those.</p>
<p>could you explain the whole elective credit thing?</p>
<p>A standard USC degree requires 128 units for completion. Most majors (engineering is a notable exception) + general education requirements are considerably less than that total so you have 2 options of fulfilling the remaining units. You can either take electives OR you can add another major or add a minor to reach that total. By having elective units, you receive an earlier registration time (its done by total completed units, somewhat better choice of class/discussion/lab times) in addition to being able to graduate a semester or two earlier since you may reach that total unit requirement earlier.</p>
<p>oh gotcha! didn’t realize a major (business for me) wouldn’t fill up 128 units. thanks!</p>
<p>The Marshall course plans are located here: [Sample</a> Course Plans | Undergraduate Students](<a href=“http://students.marshall.usc.edu/undergrad/advising/sample-course-plans/]Sample”>http://students.marshall.usc.edu/undergrad/advising/sample-course-plans/)</p>
<p>You will see that you will have free elective units available and even more open space if you receive AP credit.</p>
<p>AP Euro Hist satisfies GE1. Math AB and Econ waive some prerequisites for higher level classes. All others will give you 4 elective units of credit up to a maximum of 32 units (One year of college). Please note: this applies only if you score a 4 or 5 on the exams. 3 and below get you nothing.</p>
