<p>It's sad to see that I had wasted quite some time over AP env. science and to find out that CoE doesn't accept env science >.<!!! Heck i even signed up for AP psychology..
so i'll be losing $26 reg fee by not taking those 2 exams cuz it seems like CoE only accpets physics, calculus and chem...</p>

<p>is there a way i can get around with this? like.. getting credits for APES? </p>

<p>gah i feel like saying "FML" for wasting those hours... i could've done something else... like scholarship essays or something..</p>

<p>FML.</p>

<p>How are you guys managing your AP things? Have any of you "wasted" those AP credits after you passed the test[as in college doesnt accept them..]?</p>

<p>I was told it’s best to just retake them from the begining. It’s an easy A to boost your GPA, and you learn them better. Though now I have to pay to take those classes. </p>

<p>I didn’t take any last year, and this year I’m only taking Calc I (AB) test.</p>

3

<p>Yeah I’m kinda mad they won’t take Physics B credit (even though I will probably get a 5 on BC Calc)</p>

4

<p>^ Oh that’s crazy… they don’t even accept phy B?
[Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: AP Guidelines](<a href=“AP, IB Credit | University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions”>AP, IB Credit | University of Michigan Office of Undergraduate Admissions)
I was thinking of self studying that earlier in the yr,then i quit…
out of the 6 exams i planned to take earlier in the yr, only 1 would get me some credit. -.-</p>

<p>can’t we get humanities credits for psychology/other stuff if you are going into engineering?</p>

6

<p>What? Environmental Science and Psych are both listed as being accepted.</p>

7

<p>^i think for LSA yeah, but not for engineering…
enginering is strictly calculus, physics C, and chem i think >.< and comp science…boo</p>

8

<p>they accept credit for humanity and social studies classes. so like ap american and euro etc, which is helpful for the 16 credits for SS and Humanities</p>

<p>Yeh, or like working instead of spending my senior year looking for handouts. HAHA! I’ll see you in Michigan, REN. Maybe we will be roommates… wouldn’t that be fun. Kind of like sticking a fork in my eye.</p>

<p>Ren, read the page again. For every test except the ones you listed, the College of Engineering accepts according to the same rules as LSA.</p>

11

<p>wpirpi, ■■■ off. since you like to WPI that much, go there. I don’t wanna see your face.</p>

<p>chinaismine, oooh, i see. my bad. thanks :slight_smile: I thought they only accept the 4 they listed, oops. thanks</p>

12

<p>I heard something about not giving AP credit for classes if the classes were required to meet high school graduation requirements. Anyone know anything about this/have any experience with this?</p>

13

<p>So far I have not found one prestigious university accepting Physics B…</p>

14

<p>i’m almost 100% sure umich does and its for 10 credits…</p>

15

<p>I would double check with the school. It says that credit is awarded per the LSA guidelines unless Engineering says otherwise, so it would seem credit is given for all those tests.</p>

<p>From the Website:
Physics B 4 Physics 125 (4) & 127 (1) 5<br>
5 Physics 125(4), 127(1), 126(4) & 128(1) 10</p>

<p>However, these credits do not satisfy engineering major prerequisites or the physics major requirements. I am pretty sure that these credits could be used against your free electives, but you have to make sure with your advisor at orientation. </p>

<p>@ csc
That dual enrollment with a community college or a local university.</p>

<p>By the way…
IB seems to be a better deal than AP, a 4 on IB gives the same amount of credits as a 4 on a AP test. GO IB :P</p>

<p>Thanks. I checked with an UM advisor and they don’t give the Physics B 10 hours to engineering majors…not even as a general elective! Robbed!</p>
