Do Colleges Count AP Credit towards College Freshman GPA? (ex, 5 = A, 3 = C)

<p>I know that colleges give credit for AP Classes but does that mean they make them count towards your college GPA?</p>

<p>For example, a college may give you 4 credits for getting a 3 on the AP Calculus Exam. Although you may be exempt from Calculus, does that 3 also translate to a "C" on your overall College GPA? Similiarly, would getting a 5 on the AP exam add an extra "A" to your GPA? Or do colleges simply exempt you from Calculus and not count your AP Score towards college GPA?</p>

<p>They don't count for your GPA. Not sure if that's what you want to hear or not :-)</p>

<p>You just get credits, no grades.</p>
