<p>Keep in mind that in order to actually get the 3-or-so points of credit for an AP class, you need to take a higher level course in that subject. For example, if you got a 5 on AP French and want to get 3 points of credit for it, you need to take a 3000-level (or higher) French course and pass with a grade of B or higher.</p>
<p>Also, students can only get a maximum of 16 points toward graduation through AP scores.</p>
<p>Wait you can only MAX take 16 points</p>
<p>Can i ask WHY?</p>
<p>Because Columbia doesn’t want people graduating having taken largely high school courses. If you want that Ivy diploma, take Ivy League courses! ;)</p>
