<p>Many schools cap AP credits off at 32. Does UCLA does this, too?</p>
<p>You mean how many units get converted? No cap as far as I know.</p>
<p>No, there is no cap to the amount of AP credit you can bring to UCLA. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>that being said, there aren't that many ap tests you can get honest-to-god credit for, either.</p>
<p>the ap credits are just empty credits that can help you get a sophomore standing, right? (if you're a freshman)</p>
<p>And lower division elective units.</p>
<p>how many lower div elective units are required?</p>
<p>Well, you need 180 units total to graduate. 60 of them must be upper division.</p>
<p>I'm a little confused about the AP credit system.</p>
<p>I'm entering next year majoring in physiological science, but very few of my AP credits actually count toward my major. And AP credits don't satisfy GE.</p>
<p>For example, these are the AP credits that I'm entering UCLA with, assuming I get a 4 on all of my AP tests this year (excluding Spanish Language):</p>
<p>Biology (5) - LIFE SCI Unassigned (8 units)
Chemistry (4) - CHEM General (8)
Macroeconomics (4) - ECON 2 (4)
Microeconomics (4) - ECON 1 (4)
English Lang/Comp (4) - ENGCOMP 3 (8)
US Gov't (4) - POLI SCI United States (4)
US History (4) - HIST United States (8)
European History (4) - HIST European (8)
AB Subscore of Calculus BC Exam (5) /
Calculus BC (5) - MATH 31A & 31B (8)
Music Theory (4) - MUSIC Theory (4)
Physics C: Mechanics - PHYSICS General "C" (4)
Psychology (5) - PSYCH 10 (4)
Statistics (5) - STATS Unassigned (4)</p>
<p>And I took Calculus of Multiple Variables, which is both MATH 32A and 32B, and Intro to Logic, which is "one additional lower division philosophy course," at a community college. The transfer units were calculated with assist.org and should amount to 11 transferable units.</p>
<p>That amounts to 87 units.</p>
<p>And, if should pass the AP Spanish test at all, it's 8 units, making my total 95 units.</p>
<p>If I have enter with more than 90 units, am I'm supposed to have junior standing?</p>
<p>And... since most of these units, don't really apply to my major, do they have any effect at all?</p>
<p>wow swift.... you are crazy. I think my school offers like half the amount of AP classes you took... haha.</p>
<p>lol, bump.</p>
<p>so swift, are you planning to be in college like 2 years?</p>
<p>no, i'm not. anddd... no one's answering my question.</p>
<p>Do AP's that don't go toward your major or GE's really matter?</p>
<p>Did your Calculus of Multiple Variables include vector calculus? That's what 32B is...</p>
<p>Anyways. It helps you graduate earlier if you optionally use those units to fulfill electives (classes that's not required by GE, major, or pre-req, but are used to complete the necessary 180 units for graduation).</p>
<p>Oh! I didn't know that was what elective units meant.</p>
<p>What about courses that aren't from the College of Letters of Sciences, like Music Theory?</p>
<p>Yeah, that math course was the transferable equivalent of both 32A and 32B.</p>
<p>I think courses from the different colleges are fine as long as they let you enroll.</p>
<p>questions…
In the college of engineering, it seems that getting a 5 on the Calculus BC exam only gets you credit for 31A and NOT 31B, according to this website:</p>
<p>[AP</a> Credit - School of Engineering and Applied Science - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditEN.htm]AP”>AP Credits for Majors in the College | Undergraduate Admission)</p>
<p>Apparently it’s different for different colleges, the college of letters and science take BC (5) for both 31A and 31B. Bummers it seems…</p>
<p>And WHAT exactly is “General C” for Physics AP? I took both Mechanics and Ele/Mag and will get above a 3 for both, but all the physics I see on the UCLA website are courses like Physics 1A, 4AL, 1B, 4BL. So DO my credits transfer over or not? If so, just what kind of courses am I actually covering?</p>
