<p>So I'm going to be going to AEM next year and I was just wondering what AP credits can do for you. I just calculated it according to the table on Cornell's website and I should have somewhere around 25-26 credits by the end of this year. However, most of these credits are in sciences and mathematics classes which don't seem to be a prerequisite for graduating out of AEM anyway. Are these basically wasted AP credits then?</p>
<p>CALS now has a limit on the amount of AP credit you can get. you don't seem to have a problem with that right now, since the limit is 30.</p>
<p>the credits will take care of your CALS requirements, ie: Historical Analysis (any history class), Foreign Language, Diversity (all CALS kids are required to take one of these, but i'm pretty sure no AP credits satisfy this), and a Cultural Analysis (some AP credits might be able to cover this). you can also place out of one FWS if you get a 4 or a 5 on AP Lang or AP Lit.</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick answer, that makes sense. At the same time though, would I be able to take physics or math classes that would probably be in the engineering department?</p>
<p>i think engineering has physics/math classes that are JUST for engineers. you can minor in AEM if you're engineering - but you have to be in CoE to do so - you can't be in AEM and minor/major in engineering.</p>
<p>you CAN, however, take math/physics classes in CAS. i know for a fact that many AEP majors take the same classes as physics majors in CAS (at least the classes taken in freshman and sophomore year).</p>
<p>engineering has its own math and introductory chemistry, doesn't have its own introductory physics.</p>
<p>you can take them if you aren't an engineer btw</p>
