ap scores

<p>I just got my ap scores in the mail today and i'm wondering if they will have any impact on my credits at USC (I'm a freshman, starting Fall '07). Does anyone know? I passed English Literature, US Government and Politics, and Statistics.</p>

<p>Passing with a 3 usually only translates to receiving elective units. On the other hand, a 4 or 5 on an AP exam could possibly count as G.E. credit. The following is a link to the USC Office of Articulation webpage, which breaks down which APs are accepted for only elective units, as well as which APs are accepted for G.E. credit.</p>

<p>If you check your Transfer Credit Report (go to my.usc.edu and then click on Oasis), it'll tell you how many credits you're getting.</p>

<p>A related question - if when she took the May 2007 APs, my D requested that they be sent to USC, will her scores from previous years automatically be sent as well?</p>

<p>Yes... When I checked my Transfer Credit Report, it included scores from the previous years.</p>

<p>thanks, for the great answers</p>

<p>Some departments accept APs as lower division major courses. For example, for Political Science, AP U.S. Government counts as one of the two required lower division courses.</p>
