<p>I'm a junior transfer. I've been told that if i obtain 130 or more units after my senior year, I cannot take classes at UC Berkeley in the regular semesters. I want to stay an extra semester but for that to happen I need to take two(2) 13 unit semesters and two (2) 14 unit semesters with nothing in summer between jr. and sr. year.</p>
<p>My AP credits from high school are forcing me to take such a light course load if I want to stay the extra semester. Is there any way to nullify the AP credits so they don't count toward my total unit count? I took the equivalent classes at CC (ie. Math 1 for AP Calc)....anything I can do?</p>
<p>I thought AP credits don’t count if you don’t want them to? My counselor told me that they can only help you and not hurt you.</p>
<p>Can someone confirm this?</p>
<p>ya i was under the notion that ap units don’t matter until you need them to…like fill in breadth and stuff but maybe i’m wrong</p>
<p>If you don’t need AP credits, then your college won’t count them. You won’t be disadvantaged by AP credits. Only UC credits apply towards the unit count.</p>
<p>Last time I went into drop in, the counselor told me that she had to count them and she knew I wanted to stay an extra semester, she said I had to take a low unit load and that I couldn’t do anything for the AP credits…I called the counseling office and they told me the same thing you guys.</p>
<p>So much for setting up an appointment with her…who are some good counselors?</p>
<p>not L&S ones basically. they’re all rather ■■■■■■■■ and blunt. i asked a question to one before and she replied with a yes/no response. it wasn’t even a yes or no question.</p>
<p>Katie and Mark are good</p>
