College of Engineering AP credit

<p>I was researching stuff about what credit I can get, and found the information to be quite a surprise. But since its late and a weekend I can't call them about it.</p>

<p>Does anyone have experience with getting AP credit from the CoE? They seem really stingy about it.</p>

<ol>
<li>Do I need to take both government ap's and both econ ap's to receive any credit at all? Because I'm take US Gov and Macro at the moment.</li>
<li>Is it true that only 2 humanities classes can be exempted? and only 1 english ap counts? (It says it satisfies one half of the writing requirement, what is the other half?)</li>
<li>They only take one history? and no physics B at all?</li>
</ol>

<p>If this is all true, out of 9 AP classes, I only have a possibility of exemption from 3 of them :(</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Dunno about Econ, but you can just take 1 Gov test to get credit for it.</p></li>
<li><p>Yeah, 2 humanities can be used for the Humanities requirement (which is 6 classes). Most people pass out of the first part of R&C with AP English (either, with I think a 4), but you can’t out of the second. The other half is just an R1B or R5B class, but since we’re engineers, we can take a class from a separate list. I’m taking a 3-unit class to fulfill that requirement.</p></li>
<li><p>You get credit for all the history classes, but I guess you can use 2 to exempt you for your Humanities exemptions, although usually you use something else. And no Physics B, that class has no Berkeley analog… especially for engineers. The physics we take (7 series) has calculus and is about twice as hard as the Physics C’s.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I had 10 APs and got credit for all of them. I’m using 2 for the humanities (R&C and series), got out of Math 1A/1B with Calculus BC, and got out of Physics 7A with Physics C Mechanics.</p>

<p>Don’t you need both US and Comparative Gov’t for humanities credit?</p>

<p>Yeah I just found out that the 4 AP exams that I’d be taking this May will not count for anything except credits.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you need both econs to count as one requirement. I’m using those and possibly Econ 100A-B to fufill the 2 in same department with at least one upper division and 2 upper division humanities requirements.</p>

<p>I’m also taking AP Comp Sci A (should have done it last year so I could take AB) worth nothing, and AP Statistics worth measly units.</p>

<p>AP Calc BC and AP Physics C were pretty good for fufilling requirements though.</p>
