<p>I just had a question about AP credit.</p>
<p>I have taken/am taking AP Calc AB, BC, Chem, Lit, Micro Econ, Macro
Econ, Bio, and Stat.</p>
<p>Would I receive 8 hours for Calc BC, 4 hours for Chem, Lit, Micro
Econ, Macro Econ, Bio, and Stat assuming I get 4's and 5's on all the
ap exams? So, 32 hours of credit total?</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Nahsh, do a “Search” (see the tool bar above) and put in “AP credit” into the “search by keyword” box … and if you want what I have written about this matter, put in “NorCalDad” in the “User Name” box … and then choose “Emory University” in the “Search in Forum(s)” box.</p>
<p>You should get a lot of the past discussion points.</p>
<p>Also, link to read: [College</a> Credit Policies](<a href=“Admission | Emory University | Atlanta GA”>Admission | Emory University | Atlanta GA)</p>
<p>BTW, you can get 8 credit hours for Calc BC, but you will not get an ADDITIONAL 4 credit hours for Calc AB. And yes, if you score a “4” or “5” on those particular AP classes, you get 4 credit hours each. The one question I might pose to the Office of Admission is whether you can get credit for both Micro Econ and Macro Econ. The maximum credit hours you can earn from AP exams is 32 hours.</p>
<p>i looked it up already. AP doesn’t work so they only get “credit.” I’ve looked through them but there’s nothing specific.</p>
<p>I know I only recieve 8 hours for Calc BC, and none for calc ab. </p>
<p>So except for that human geography or whatever AP and calc bc, I’ll always get 4 hours of credit? Like there’s no prerequisites (i.e. have to take a higher level class etc.) Iunno, the site was very vague.</p>
<p>Nahsh,</p>
<p>Yes, except for Calc BC (which will give you 8 credit hours), you will get 4 credit hours for each of your other AP exams that you pass with a 4 or 5. (I believe that if you took the AP exam for Calc BC and say passed with only a “3”, you could still get 4 credit hours from the Calc AB content.) And confirming, Emory doesn’t offer credit for Human Geography.</p>
<p>As I said, knowing that Emory will award only 4 hours for English (either of English Language or English Literature, but not both). I’m uncertain if they may have similar restrictions regarding Macro Econ and Micro Econ. Give the Office of Admission a call or e-mail to get clarification – as they do change policies without notice.</p>
<p>Also for AP Bio and AP Chem, if you haven’t taken the exams yet, think about what your major will be. The AP exams may be eligible for college credit, BUT they may not be useful to you. For instance, let’s say you’re a Biology major (or on pre-med track), and you need the introductory sequence of Bio 141/142 for your freshman year. Even if you score a 4 or 5 on the AP Biology exam, it will NOT serve you well, since the AP Bio credit cannot be used for Bio 141/142 credit needed for a Biology major. The credit is only given for a “non-major” Biology course that may be helpful to say a History major who needs the science class to fulfill a General Education Requirement (GER).</p>
<p>To satisfy the science major and/or pre-med track requirements, you may still have to take the sequence of courses that Emory requires. So, if this is the case for you, it may not make sense to plan for the AP Exam in those subject(s). </p>
<p>Hope all this makes sense… it’s not as complicated as it sounds, except for the fact that Emory keeps tweaking their policy on AP credit – they’re not alone, all colleges do this.</p>
<p>Thanks so much NorCalDad :). Haha this is the 2nd time you helped me. I think you were right about that financial aid early acceptance I asked you about too.</p>
<p>Actually, the AP policies have changed starting this year. You need a 5 to get any credit. I can’t find a link that reflects the change, but I know this for a fact (unless they recently changed this back to the old system) because I’m at Emory.
They give seperate credit for Micro and Macro econ.</p>
<p>premeds be careful as many med schools are not allowing AP credits.</p>
<p>tu160m-- the acceptance letter I got in the mail yesterday say they still accept 4’s?
SC-i’m gonna be a math major.</p>
<p>They accept 4s and 5s still for most APs. The admission website has specifics.</p>
