<p>I have another question for you guys:
On the Trinity AP Credits list, it says I need a “4/5” on AP Literature and Composition. Does that mean, for placement purposes, that a 4 and a 5 are the same?</p>
<p>but does Duke’s AP Credit for bio still apply because of the change in the intro course series (Now its Bio 101 and 102). would a 5 on AP Bio still give you credit for Bio 101?</p>
<p>^interesting question, I would like to know too. I’d really appreciate it if someone could answer my question too (the one before jko0426’s) :)</p>
<p>Cadillac: yes </p>
<p>jko0426: AP Bio will probably still give credit for Bio 19 which isn’t a course offered by Duke. It’s merely a placeholder for a generic intro bio course. So you’d need to take bio101. </p>
<p>here’s what the bio website says:</p>

<p>Thank you for all your information SBR!</p>
<p>wait, for pratt u have unlimited AP?</p>
<p>i’ll have 20+ aps tests done by the time AP tests are over and i don’t want to waste them all. so would i be graduating early if i tried to use all of them?</p>
<p>but i don’t really want to be leaving early so uh, would it be common for people to just study abroad or do service or research or soemthign?</p>
<p>A few things to note:</p>
<p>1) Not all AP tests are useful. AP Stats isn’t. Compsci won’t help unless you are actually planning a compsci minor/double major. You are only allowed to use 2 humanities AP credits for graduation. </p>
<p>2) You have to take at least one physics course at Duke even if you got 4/5 on both Physics C AP tests. </p>
<p>3) There are plenty of engineering requirements that cannot be satisfied by AP credits. Since the engineering curriculum is structure in such a way that you can only graduate when you have completed your requirements AND reached a minimum of 34 credits, simply having 34 credits doesn’t automatically allow you to graduate. </p>
<p>4) Yes, study abroad is definitely an option that Pratt encourages all engineerings to consider. There’s also Pratt Research Fellowship for juniors and seniors that lets you take 3 consecutive independent studies and do only three regular courses for your last 3 semesters. Both are great opportunities and AP credits definitely help when you are trying to do one or both of them.</p>
