<p>hey - does anyone know how AP credit is given out, and if credit exempts you from a course or just qualifies you to take a higher level?</p>

<p>I don't really want to take all my AP exams if NYU does not give you college credit for everything that you scored a 4/5 on.
Anyone?</p>

<p>you get credit for 4's and 5's. they do not exempt you from many classes though (you get mostly elective credit i believe), im not sure about qualifiying for higher level. </p>

<p>im not too sure about anything besides they say they take all 4's and 5's</p>

<p>Be prepared to fight for credits if you want them.</p>

<p>What NYU will try and pull is recognise an equivalent course, accept it to fulfill their own requirements, and, at the same time, give ZERO credit for it.</p>

<p>In the end, you wonder, what was the point? Basically, you're just freed up to get the credits somewhere else.</p>

<p>So, as I said, be prepared to fight.</p>

<p>Thank you, Unrealfire. With their caveat:

Please use this as a guide and understand there may be minor differences in how your credit is eventually awarded depending on the program of study you will follow at NYU.

I suppose they are letting you know not to count on the credit.</p>
