AP credits to Canadian Universities

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I'm considering taking AP exams in May, but I don't know much about the policies of Canadian universities regarding these credits. If anyone has experience or knowledge about this, help is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I'm considering: Calculus AB or BC, and Micro & Macro Economics.</p>

<p>Schools: York, Western, Queen's, and UofT.</p>

<p>Questions: I went on the schools websites but they were quite ambiguous to me.. I know Western doesn't accept economics, but it seems that other schools do. Anyone want to confirm this? My question is: how are AP credits treated differently from normal university credits? For example, how are they used in calculating GPA? Can they be used as prerequisites for subsequent years? etc etc</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I should add that it is rare that a university will include AP credit in your GPA, but I haven’t looked into all schools, so you may want to check out each individual school’s policy.</p>
