AP Policy

<p>Is it just me or is W&L's AP policy extremely strict? The only 4's that are permitted are for Romance Languages and Art History.</p>

<p>Also, I wanted to know about Calculus BC. If you get a 4 on Calc BC, are you not even granted a semester's credit for math? On W&L's website, information is given only for 5 (which is two semesters credit).</p>

<p>That seems reasonable compares to other private schools, especially the Ivies.</p>

<p>Call the dean of the math department and ask - or wait until you get to campus. Most schools give you one credit for a 4 on BC (as opposed to two for a 5) - I'm not sure if that is what W&L does.</p>

<p>Does this (<a href="http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/ap.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://registrar.wlu.edu/policies/ap.htm&lt;/a&gt;) mean that if I plan to be a Biology major at W&L, there is no point in taking the AP Biology exam on Monday? If I understand correctly, even if I get a 5, I will still have to take W&L's introductory Biology and will not be awarded any credits. I signed up for the exam a while ago before I knew which college I would be attending and am wondering whether or not it's worth this weekend's hardcore studying and 82 bucks.</p>

<p>Any logical reasoning would be appreciated.</p>

<p>You won't get any money back now anyway...</p>

<p>It means that the AP test cannot go towards fulfilling any requirements for the biology major - which you can find in the catalog which you can find on the registrar's website - registrar.wlu.edu.</p>

<p>you could get money back. You lose the 13 dollar deposit, but you can get the remaining 60 something dollars back</p>
