<p>I'm currently a Junior and so far I have passed 2 AP exams and, after this week, will be awaiting 5 more AP scores.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons I take the AP courses is that I want to be able to graduate with a Bachelors in 3 years instead of 4.</p>
<p>However, I've found very, very few colleges that are lenient in their credit policies (the only ones I can't think of are Cal Poly and UCLA) and apparently UCLA will not allow you to skip enough classes to graduate early.</p>
<p>I've heard many times that it's possible to graduate in 3 years, but never have I actually heard of what school or by what means this was possible.</p>
<p>Really, it depends on your major. A social science or humanities major will have an easier to time to graduate quickly, than say a chemist, or physicist, simply because in the former, there are less prereq classes, and the course scheduling is less rigid. To your question, it depends on your situation. Where do you place in your assessments tests? How many units are you taking per term? are you taking courses between sessions (winter and summer classes). It’s possible to graduate in 3 years I’m sure, but it won’t be easy.</p>
<p>I know several people that graduated UCLA in 3 years. In my experience UCLA wants to get students to graduate as soon as possible. I’ve heard other schools like Alabama are good for this too, although I’m not sure if it’s worth going all the way over there just for that.</p>
<p>Do students from UC Berkeley get to graduate in 3 yrs?</p>
<p>By the end of senior year, I will probably have 60-70 credits based on the tests I’ve taken and plan to take, and based off of what UCLA gives for AP exams.</p>
<p>However, for computer science, will I be able to be placed as a sophomore if I have AP credit for Bio, European History, US History, Psychology, English, Calculus, Physics, Government, Stats, Macroeconomics, and Computer Science A?</p>
<p>I’m also planning on taking Chemistry over the summer, and that will probably be all the college credit I’ll have coming in.</p>
<p>I think that should be sufficient for me to leave in 3 years, however it would be frustrating to be doing all these AP courses if it doesn’t doesn’t get me anywhere.</p>
<p>You still haven’t stated your major. If you are a Stem major; however, you will have to retake bio, physics and calc, since at the uni level, ap classes are equivalents of the general series rather than major required variant. </p>
<p>I personally know two people who graduated in three years though neither was a STEM major. One who graduated from U. Delaware with a double major in Business and French and the other graduated from Ithaca. I’m assuming her major was English because she is now a high school English teacher but I don’t know exactly. I know a current student at U. Delaware who is trying to graduate in 3 years in a science major, I believe Bio, and I know he is finding it hard to do in part because of the stricter requirements. </p>
