<p>Some kids I know who are going to other schools found out AP test scores and credit awarded through their course registrations. I heard that you could do the same but was unable to find anything. Does anyone know how to do so, or if doing so is actually possible?</p>
<p>You phone collegeboard and pay a fee to have them tell you your scores I believe. I don’t think the college itself can tell you (maybe, who knows).</p>
<p>i noticed our ap credit is now posted on penn intouch. check the transcript.</p>
<p>cool, I have econ001 and econ002 wvd but 0 cus for that, is this normal?</p>
<p>i think so. econ is waiver only, not credit like others.</p>
<p>hmmm when I register though, it doesn’t let me choose the next elvel up :(</p>
<p>well apparently they either haven’t updated mine… orrr my scores sucked this year… ughh</p>
<p>I got a “free” next to ENGL (1 c.u.)–does that mean I got a 5 on lit? Did the temperature of hell just drop like 50 degrees?</p>
<p>^haha…I only got 5.0 CUs total b/c micro and macro don’t count. I didn’t even bother taking the AP test for Lit even though everyone said it was easy. The free ENGL thing isn’t worth much apparently.</p>
<p>I actually feel kinda scammed. I took 14 APs total for high school and I’m only getting 7 C.U.'s. Fine, we won’t count AB and BC as two different subjects but I demand my chem to count! (5). I don’t care that by some grace of G-d I got a 5 on the two physics C exams too >.></p>
<p>^wow nice…I took 11 AP classes and 10 exams (two 4’s in eng lang and phys b which didn’t count and comp sci A was overridden by comp sci AB). Still, 5 CU is just about a semester, so I shouldn’t complain.</p>
<p>the transcript looks so intimidating.</p>
<p>i don’t think i’m going to use any of my ap credits…that’s not looked unfavorably upon, right? like, it’ll be ok if i took math 104 and bio 101 even though i had bc calc and bio?</p>
<p>Hey, don’t complain about 7 c.u.! or even 5 c.u. My school didn’t teach for the APs (because we’re too elitest for that, oh no, we have to run like a college in HS…please notice my ‘tone of voice’ there) so I don’t have any credits (and ok, I guess I could have studied on my own but classes/HW already took up all my time -__-)</p>
<p>I would love to have even 2 c.u…</p>
<p>if you want to apply dual after yr 1 and it’s all about gpa anyway, maybe better forget the ap’s and ace the first year. SEAS will get its pound of flesh sooner or later.</p>
<p>Where are you guys checking this info at? I went to Penn InTouch, academic transcript/gpa, and it just shows my high school and college. Am I at the right place?</p>
<p>Uhhh, I’ll be completely honest, AP credit is only good for a few things.</p>
<p>You could graduate a semester or a year early if you’re just trying to get in and out.
You could declare sophomore status for second semester freshman year so that you can get out of the meal plan requirement and save $2,000.
You could satisfy the language requirement.</p>
<p>Otherwise, for the CAS your AP credit is basically useless. The credit you get is counted as a free elective, but it can’t count toward a major or minor, as all of those courses need to be taken for grades, and AP credit is just a “pass” grade. For people who want dual degrees, AP is even more useless, as you will need to fulfill lots of requirements for two different schools, plus two majors from two schools, for which AP doesn’t help at all.</p>
<p>Long story short, don’t worry about your AP</p>
<p>^ Haha I just wanted to check my scores for kicks. Not planning to use any of my scores anyways.</p>
<p>But when you say the credits don’t count towards a major, what do you mean by that? I thought skipping out of say Math 104 would give you 1 CU? Are you talking about only CAS or all the colleges?</p>
<p>Okay so in the CAS, you can break your courses into three categories: major, requirement and elective.</p>
<p>Your major courses are all courses taken for a grade that count toward the major you declare. Your requirement courses are also taken for a grade to fulfill the general requirements; only one of these courses can also count for your major. The electives are any other courses you take, be it for a minor or just for fun. Some minor courses can overlap with requirement courses and even major courses, but yeah.</p>
<p>Calc BC actually is a bit of an anomaly for Penn. Since the Math department allows you to get retroactive credit that counts toward the major if you take MATH114 (i.e. if you take MATH114 and pass with a C or better, you get credit for 114 and 104 regardless of what you did on an AP test), you can count your AP test toward the major. The catch is that if you’re a math major, you have to take MATH114 and you have to get a C or better, so the AP credit is rendered moot unless you take MATH240 to start off and get a C or better in that, in which case you would also get credit for MATH114.</p>
<p>With that said, MATH104 fulfills the college requirement in Formal Reasoning, but Calculus BC does NOT fulfill that requirement (unless I’m completely mistaken).</p>
<p>In addition, if you are a history major, you cannot count any AP History courses toward your major; they are only free electives.</p>
<p>As for other schools, they might be a little different, so I’m only speaking about the college.</p>
<p>Ah I see, yeah I’m in Engineering so I thought it sounded a little different. But yeah, thanks for explaining it to me 
Probably helped out quite of other people too.</p>
