Help! What happens with AP credits?

Applying to College
1

<p>I've taken numerous AP credits and am trying to research about transferring them to the college that I choose. My question is, I have scores ranging from 3-5, now assuming that they meet the college's minimum requirements for earned credit, how do these appear on my transcript?</p>

<p>For instance, if a school awards 3 credits hours for a 3, 4, or 5.
I score a 4, and apply to transfer the credit to the university. How will this show up on my college transcript (will it give me a B grade for instance?). Just wondering, because a lot of college scholarships require you to maintain a GPA requirement, and if these are factored in...</p>

<p>Each college does it differently. Some will give you an actual credit, while others will just use it to place you into more advanced classes.</p>

<p>Right, I realize this, but I'm wondering what grade you receive.</p>

<p>If they give you credit, what letter grade appears on your transcript? Or is it put on the transcript as just a pass/fail?</p>

<p>From what I understand, it's similar to a pass/fail.</p>

<p>But I could be very wrong (and I'd like to know too), so I'll just bump this up.</p>

<p>You don't receive a grade. At most schools, you don't even have the course named. The credits are simply added to the ones you actually take and become part of the number you need to graduate.</p>

<p>Info is available on many of the school websites and can very tremendously. For example S received a 5 on Calculus A/B. He is at a top LAC and had to pass the next level of math class with a C+ or better and then the credit for AP would be added. At Stonehill College that same 5 on the AP would earn 8 undergrad credits. -- So check the websites of the particular schools you are interested.</p>
