AP credit

<p>Was I supposed to send my AP scores/if I have not, is it too late?</p>

<p>You do have to send the scores yourself, I believe. Check collegeboard and see how long they expect shipping scores to take. If they will get there by the first or second week, it’s probably worth it.</p>

<p>(1) Look at what credit you will receive. If all you are going to receive is electives, you might wait until you know if you will need them (e.g. 3rd year). Languages, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics & Biology give you credit for 4/5 (and 3 on languages). </p>

<p>In other words, if you get something from it worthwhile, then send them ASAP!</p>

<p>I doubt you have to get something in ASAP. Credit isn’t even awarded until you complete your first year, and I don’t think that’s the only window in which it could be awarded. And the only real impact anything would have on your first-year courses would be placement (which you can handle with the placement exam you would take anyway), and maybe not having to take math if you didn’t want to.</p>

<p>The core math and physical science requirements, and language competency, are the only meaningful requirements AP exams can satisfy, and on the physics front I suspect most of the people who score well on the Physics B and E&M exams either want to take physics or chemistry anyway, or want to go to med school and thus must take them. Everything else just replaces electives. You can graduate in three years, but you don’t (and shouldn’t) have to make that decision now.</p>
