<p>Hey- I’m going to Brown and want to know what the AP credit policies are. I have 5s in US, EURo hisotry, Latin Lit., Calc AB… and im taking English Language, Bio, and Art HIstory. </p>
<p>I want to know if its even worth studying for my APs this year if I won’t get any credit for them.</p>
<p>Any help is appreciated!</p>
<p>They don't consider English or Art, I think. Definitely not english.</p>
<p>They give placement in bio for a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>what does placement mean? Does that mean i can take a harder bio course, or i get credit for thee course?</p>
<p>I'm not certain about credit (maybe a current student will help out here) but placement means that you go to a slightly higher intro-level bio class.</p>
<p>I'm so happy about Brown not taking these tests, because now I get to cancel my English Lit AP test! Yay for no studying!</p>
<p>Check out this link to the Dean of the College's Office. It ought to answer all your AP credit questions:</p>
<p>From my earlier post on the subject:</p>
<p>Brown has two systems, Tuition credits and Course credits. In order to graduate, you need to have completed 32 tuition credits (literally, pay for 8 semesters), and 30 course credits (take an dpass 30 courses).</p>
<p>AP credit gets you Tuition credit, but NOT course credit. It is possible to skip some time by taking 5 courses, but a year skipped would require 5 each semester for 3 years, which may be hard.</p>
<p>IB credit, on the other hand, is held in very high regard by Brown (I personally enjoy this, and I think it is something more schools should embrace, because the programs are very different). IB credit earns you both types of credit, tuition and course.</p>
