<p>Do all these credits actually help in the long run, like graduate in 4 years? Is it possible to graduate in 4 years? I'm like freaking cause I have no confidence in some of my APs...</p>
<p>just take 5 years.. it'll be fun</p>
<p>some ap credits don't count depending on your college or major. for example: if you're at marshall, i do believe you don't get credit for passing english because of that doc graduation requirement thing. or something like that. ha. </p>
<p>oh. and don't freak.</p>
<p>Don't they have like... "Finish in Four-Year" program or something?
They give you the list of recomended courses to take each year (by major)
so you can finish in four years. (Without the AP Credits, I believe.)</p>
<p>I think I saw it somewhere on the Muir webpage.
I don't know about the other colleges tho.</p>
<p>here's the link for Finish-in-Four for Muirons :p</p>
<p>u have to get a 3 or above</p>
<p>and thats all i know</p>
<p>thats so cool for muir...i don't think roosevelt has that...and im majoring in microbiology btw...does it matter if i pass the econ ap or the gov ap? are they a big part in my major?</p>
<p>ap's are great if you major in something under chemistry or biology department -- at least when i entered, if you got a 5 on AP chem or AP bio you did not have to take the whole year(!) of the lower division chemistry or biology -- wich was great!</p>
<p>so if you're not taking 1 whole year of chem and 1 whole year of bio this means you can get some of the other GE's out of the way your 1st year -- however, this also means that the next level chem that you take is organic, and some people have a problem with that for some reason (they think it is hard) -- there is also a drawback in that if you do not take lower division biology and chemistry 1st year, it might be hard to start up on those subjects your 2nd year since by that time you'll probably forget much of what you learned in those AP classes</p>
<p>AP credits also rule because if they give you enough units you can gain sophomore status when you enroll for classes -- and sophomores enroll before freshmen, which means that you'll get to enroll into classes before any of your peers (which means you'll never have trouble with classes being to full to add, if you don't wait until the last day) -- this is why all those AP's that do no count or anything else are still good!</p>
<p>AP calc was helpful too .... physics, statistics, and english totally uselessfor my major, but see above paragraph</p>
<p>oh yeah and it is totally possible to graduate in 4 years as long as you don't switch your major to something totally different -- if you are unsure in your major, then take GE's first two years -- this will give you time to figure out if you want to switch yet keep you on track at the same time -- the disadvantage to this approach is that if you want to apply for graduate school afterwards, you need to take more of your major's courses, and postpone GE's until senior year -- this way you'll have enough time and courses to prepare for graduate school examinations (whatever you decide upon) which usually come at the end of junior year or start of senior year -- once done and accepted, you can finish off the GE's your senior year and relax a bit</p>
<p>also remember that there are summer classes for some of the most popular courses (but usually not upper-div electives) -- there are two summer sessions during which it is possible to take 4 courses (2 per session) -- so you can always catch up in the summer if needed</p>
<p>AP's are great if you are in Revelle. We have the most GE's, but you can cancel out SO many classes with AP scores. AP Calc is especially nice because you don't have to take the MPE, and you don't have to take calc 1. I know Revelle has a list of transferable AP credits on their website, so other colleges probably do.</p>
<p>what about marshall or warren?</p>
<p>question--i know some colleges only allow you to receive credit for EITHER AP eng lang or AP eng lit, even if you pass both. is this true for warren? anybody know?</p>
<p>hellokitty11: on the warren ap credit sheet it says (for both english tests; 3,4,5) satisfies ELWR university requirement, 8 units each. not sure ewhat that means but it should help a bit =D</p>
