Exempting classes with AP credit

<p>Hey guys,
so I've looked all over the UNC website, and looked through the freshman guide (btw great thing to peek at, look here: <a href="http://advising.unc.edu/newstudents/08-09FYGFINAL.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://advising.unc.edu/newstudents/08-09FYGFINAL.pdf&lt;/a> ) but I always get lost trying to figure out what I could exempt with AP credit.</p>

<p>I mean, I understand what classes I WILL get credit for, I just have no idea what they all correspond to in terms of graduation requirements. With all the overlapping and acronyms in the freshman guide, I was lost in five minutes trying to figure it all out. So I'm just trying to figure out what GenEd requirements i'd have exempted with my HS AP credit and test scores (I saw that sometimes they can exempt stuff too)</p>

<p>Can anybody point me to a little more clear resource, or help me themselves?? It might mean a bit of a difference in my choosing UNC or not... because I think i'd be able to double major and maybe a minor if I had enough taken care of... anyway, here are my credits:</p>

<p>-Dual enrollment Local & State Govt (don't think it'll count, from a community college)
-AP US History 5
-AP environmental science 5
-AP english lang 4
-AP microecon 5
-AP macroecon 5
-AP US Govt 5
-AP euro history (5??) (take this yr)
-AP biology (3-5?)
-AP eng lit (3-5?)
-AP calc AB (3-4?)
-AP psychology (5?)</p>

<p>ACT english: 35 math: 33 (other sections dont matter right?)
SAT: 690cr/720m/670w
SATII: 680 mathI, 750 world history, 790 US history</p>

<p>so can anyone help me out as to what I'd have exempted??? thanks :)</p>

<p>haha i recognize this is a pretty tedious question.. i guess i'll change it so hopefully it'll be easier for someone to help me out. can someone @ UNC tell me if these are all of the gen ed requirements (1 course each except FL)??? They can overlap, right (one course count as two) and can any of them be in your major/minor?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>"(FL) Foreign Language – 4 courses?
(BN) Beyond the North Atlantic
(NA) North Atlantic World
(CI)Communication Intensive
(CII)(QI) Quantitative Intensive
(EE) Experiential Education
(US) U.S. Diversity
(GL) Global Issues
(WB)World Before 1750
(CR) Eng
(QR) Math
(LF) PE
(PL) science w/o lab
(PX) science w/ lab
(HS) historical analysis
(SS) social sciences
(PH) Philosophy/moral reasoning
(VP) Visual arts
(LA) literary arts

<p>I hope they only look at the english and math sections of the ACT, that takes me from a 32 to a 34.</p>

<p>You sure about that?</p>

<p>nonono. for admissions they look at it all.
im specifically talking about exempting classes/getting credits via test scores.
you can exempt courses with AP, IB, SAT II, SAT I and ACT scores.</p>

<p>TTWhite-</p>

<p>Nice SAT score. I actually made a 690 on cr and 660 on writing (10 from your 670), but only made a 600 on math, which is not my forte.
Haha</p>

<p>Anyway, my point with that is you get out of taking English 100 and 101 because of your SAT writing score. Now here's the real kicker: You can get out of English 102 if you make a 690 on the writing.</p>

<p>However, you can still place out of 102 by taking an exam that UNC offers at CTOPS or during the summer at some point.</p>

<p>If you make a certain grade, you can be exempt from English 102, which is a great start to getting through those general ed requirements.</p>

<p>As for you AP exams, check out this page: UNC</a> Undergraduate Admissions</p>

<p>TTwhite,</p>

<p>Those are all the gen-ed requirements. And a lot of times classes count for more than one requirement. For example, getting a 3 on biology would count as your CI class and your bio lab. </p>

<p>Honestly, I would wait to get here and talk to your adviser about what classes you are exempted from. The websites tell you what classes you get credit for, but not the gen ed requirements they fulfill.</p>

<p>Thanks for the bits of info guys. I went through and did it all.. I think I'd only have the foreign lang classes (hopefully i'd place out of one), PE, visual arts, experiential ed, quantitative intensive and beyond the north atlantic requirements left! Might have literary arts and math if I don't do too hot on this years AP exams.</p>

<p>Its really nice to see that i could have so much done with. It's annoying how so many schools will only accept a limited number of AP credits. You'd think it would be all or nothing. </p>

<p>And packerfan, thanks for the tips, but the thing was I was trying to see how many gen ed's i'd have, because that'd probably change whether I could double major (maybe with a minor) in 4 years without insane levels of stress. haha and no i'm not trying to plan out my whole college career... I'm just interested in so many things that double majoring (again maybe even with a minor) is an interest of mine, and being able to do this in a timely manner might help me choose where to go</p>
