<p>Is it fine to AP out of One 1ST Year Writing Seminar? Do most people do that?</p>
<p>It varies by college, but in general I think you are only allowed to AP out of one writing seminar anyway (with a 5 in either Lit or Lang Comp)</p>
<p>DO IT, but seriously after the first writing seminar I realized how upsetting it was to get a 4 on the AP exam and not be able to skip the second. They’re helpful but unless you love book discussions the second time around gets old quickly.</p>
<p>For CALS it looks like you only need a 4 to get credit. <a href=“http://cals.cornell.edu/academics/upload/2012_AP_Placement.pdf[/url]”>http://cals.cornell.edu/academics/upload/2012_AP_Placement.pdf</a>, can you get out of both or only 1 writing seminar?</p>
<p>compare with CAS, which lists both lit and lang and specifies only 1 FWS credit.
[Credit</a> and Placement](<a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/information/orientation/credit.cfm]Credit”>http://as.cornell.edu/information/orientation/credit.cfm)</p>
<p>So my guess would be CALS does allow both since they are listed seperately.</p>
<p>My D got out of the second FWS in CAS with her AP English Lit score. She also took AP Comp and the credits transferred in as electives.</p>
