Bio AP for CALS

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm posting for a friend wondering how a 4 on the Bio AP affects the transfer requirements to CALS. The Cornell Website says you get 4 hours from this score, but does this mean you don't have to take the second semester of Bio? Or how does it work?</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated because she can't get through to the Cornell office because of her class schedule and I figure CC is the best place for such info. Thanks.</p>

<p>Nevermind. Some sleuthing around the Cornell site got me the answer. Check the transfer thread if anyone is interested.</p>

<p>what's the answer? post it!</p>

<p>Haha.</p>

<p>If one gets a 4 on the Bio AP, they have only completed ONE HALF of the Bio 1 and 2 reaquirement, i.e. Bio 1. To successfully complete the prereq, the student MUST enroll in Bio 2 either at their own university or at a local community college. They can opt to take the class at Cornell, BUT that will negatively hurt their application for admission.</p>

<p>If students indicate a definite course of action where they plan to take the course in the coming semester or in the summer, then Cornell will not weigh those circumstances negatively.</p>
