AP Credits

<p>Just checked OPUS and all of my AP credits were updated. I got credit for US History, Calculus AB, MacroEconomics, Microeconomics, US Government, and Statistics. What does this mean?</p>

<p>Also, will using AP credits effect my GPA at all?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>US history gives you four hours of elective credit
Calc AB gives you your math credit (4 credits)
Macro/Micro actually get you out of your history/society/culture requirements (8 credits total)
US government would give you another 4 credits (since history/society/culture is already fulfilled through macro/micro)
Statistics gives you another four credits since your math is satisfied with calc.</p>

<p>Thus, you have 24 hours of transfer credit and are finished with your history and math credits.</p>

<p>If youre b-school, the only class you’d have to take as a prereq is financial accounting. If not, then just disregard that.</p>

<p>Also, using AP credits has absolutely no affect on GPA - the only reason people dont take credits are if theyre retaking a class at emory (like bio for pre-meds) or if they have over 8 classes worth of aps</p>

<p>US History- 4 credits- History Elective
Calc AB- 4 credits- equivalent to Math 111- MQR
Macro+Micro- 8 credits total- equivalent to Economics 112 and 101- HSC
US Govt- 4 credits- History Elective
Statistics- 4 credits- equivalent to Math 107- MQR</p>

<p>hope that helped (:</p>

<p>Wait, but even if you’ve received credit, you can still retake a class right? Like if you got a 5 on BC Calc, you can still retake math 111/112 right?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>@skatz57: I am planning on doing b-school but I was thinking of still taking a calculus class even with the credit I got. Could I still take a Business Calc class?</p>

<p>*for premeds, the med school actually wants you to take some hard math classes in college. If you don’t, then you may be in trouble during application round for grad school.
*for b-ppl…I have no clue, but it would help for future knowledge and math is always something to have extra off.</p>

<p>what i’d say is to take math 112 (calc 2) - you can take b-calc, however, b-calc is mostly the same as what you learned in calc ab, and i dont really know that it’d be productive. 112 is a hard class but you definitely learn A LOT</p>
