<p>I was wondering if anyone knew if theres a difference between the AP scores accepted for LA and the ones accepted for engineering?
I'm basically debating which exams to show up for this week...</p>

<p>I was wondering the same. </p>

<p>I found this: </p>

<p>If I got a 4 or a 5 on Statistics AP exam... it would be:</p>

<p>One acceleration credit, which may be counted as Liberal Arts mathematics distribution credit.</p>

<p>From the looks of it, it counts for only the Liberal Arts college :/</p>

<p>But this is just a guess, so don't take my word for it.</p>

<p>what is an acceleration credit???</p>

<p>You don't need to take the introductory classes...?</p>

<p>I think Tufts sent us a small packet with information on AP credits. Check that!</p>

<p>Even if you're an engineer, APs like English can get you out of a writing requirement, exams like Gov can get you out of a social sciences requirement, Modern European History can get you out of a humanities requirement, etc. Engineers do have a couple of liberal arts requirements they need to fill, so if you want to avoid those, take the APs - if you want to take some LA classes while at Tufts, you could potentially skip out on them. But in general APs also help you with the overall credit requirement.</p>

<p>Your advisor will tell you when you get to Tufts. Don't worry too much.</p>
