<p>thanks very much</p>
<p>I believe this should help you:</p>
<p>yup. and remember that course credit is only accepted for up to 2 APs. So if you take more, you can get out of pre-req classes, but you'll still need to take full semesters of courses.</p>
<p>what do you mean no course credit is given? does that mean you get elective credits or "ghost credits"? the website doesn't elaborate that deeply.</p>
<p>And for all the Pratt students, <a href="http://www.pratt.duke.edu/students/policies.php#10%5B/url%5D">http://www.pratt.duke.edu/students/policies.php#10</a></p>
<p>You get up to 2 course credits for AP's, but they don't count towards curriculum requirements. They can be used to replace up to 2 electives (and also for course placement at any time). For example, if you have a 4/5 on AP chem, you still need to take 2 natural sciences, but you wouldn't need to take intro chem. There is no limit to how many AP tests you can use for placement. </p>
<p>Duke requires 34 course credits total, so if you use AP credit for two electives, you only need 32 total courses (4 per semester the whole time).</p>
<p>when we visited, the lady told us that they want their students to leave with a Duke degree, not an AP degree. </p>
<p>You can only use 2 APs at Trinity, but Pratt is A LOT more lenient. They don't want to waste your time with baby stuff if you've already done it in high school.</p>
<p>Not quite true...there is a way for you to graduate a semester or even a year early. Furthermore, it's possible to finish all your credits by junior year, take graduate courses senior year, and graduate with a BS/MS. I don't think I will, though-I plan to study abroad for a year instead.</p>
<p>Say I have no clue what I'm going to major in, is there really any advantage in me taking AP Macroecon, Microecon, Comparative Govt, US Govt, Calculus BC, and English Literature exams this year? I already have 4 AP exams which I can get credit for from previous years, of which only two will count toward the grad requirement anyway. I've heard that placement into higher level classes is not always the best idea even with a 4 or 5 on an AP exam.</p>
<p>BC gets you out of two semesters of calc - and trust me when I say you want to take as much math as possible in high school. Calculus in college is typically much harder, with respect to both to how the material is presented and competition to beat the curve. BC Calc credit gets you into classes that list intro calc as a pre-req, and doesn't neccessarily force you into higher level math, because you can satisfy the quantitative distribution requirement with easier classes (e.g. intro stat, intro comp sci).</p>
<p>AP Macro will get you out of intro econ, which is required if you want to take any other econ courses. Micro gets you nothing.</p>
<p>Thanks, lots of good info! The paper I got says Micro would give me credit for ECON2A though, whatever that is.</p>
<p>Econ 2A doesn't exist anymore. You go from 1D/51D (Intro Macro) to 55D (Intermediate Micro).</p>
<p>As far as the other APs go, I quickly looked through the PolSci and English department course listings. I didn't see any low 100 level courses with pre-reqs, so I don't think credit for those is needed.</p>
