<p>I was calculating how much AP credit I would have by the end of my senior. If everything works out--which means passing my exams this year--I will have acquired 66 credits when I enter college. Of course, this depends if the college I go to accepts all this credit. I was astonished by the fact that if the college accepts all these credits, then I will be considered a junior. Not bad. If I say so myself.</p>
<p>Here are the cut offs of what class you're are in, if you didn't know.</p>
<p>So I was wondering how many AP credits do you have (or will have, ideally)?</p>
<p>Oh by the way, Cal Poly Pomona is one of the only schools (that I'm considering to apply to) that will accept all my AP credit. Pretty cool huh? Cal Poly SLO will also accept a majority of my credit (if I get into this school) as well, but I will be considered a sophomore though.</p>
<p>These are the AP's I have taken and will take (plus my scores and how much college credit I can potentially receive).</p>
<p>AP World History: 2 (I didn't take this class seriously, and I failed because of it.)
AP Calculus AB: 4 (4.5 credits)
AP Language and Composition: 3 (9 credits)
AP Art History: 4 (9 credits)
AP US History: 4 (9 credits)
AP Psychology (4.5 credits)
AP Literature and Composition (9 credits)
AP Calculus BC (12 credits)
AP Chemistry (9 credits)</p>
<p>yeah, no most AP classes are 3 credits or 4 credits. I think my brother got 6 credits for AP German. Your calculations are off and you’ll get much less than that.</p>
<p>EDIT: Are you adding the two columns together? I don’t think it works that way. I think you get either the GE or the elective credit depending on how you’re using the course.</p>
<p>@guineagirl96 I looked at the collegeboard website and the credits they purposed for Cal Poly Pomona were these. I’ll check with the Cal Poly Pomona website…</p>
<p>hmm maybe they do then, but that is very unusual. I would then assume the usually freshman, soph, junior, senior cutoffs would not be the same. The Cal Poly Pomona website has it broken down into general education and elective credits. You need a certain amount of general education credits, so excess elective credits won’t help you graduate early.</p>
<p>I’m a Sacramento State student–welcome to the lovely CSU system that is so generous to us AP students.
And yes, it is likely to make you junior standing–I thought I was only going to get 30 something credits, but it turned out that I ended up getting second semester junior standing (or for all intents and purposes, senior standing when non-freshman priority kicks in for the Spring registration period).</p>
<p>YES YES YES, those APs will kill a majority of the GEs off–but check to see if CPP wants AP Bio. I only need 6 units of GE that does not overlap with major requirements thanks to AP credits.</p>
<p>And yes, you get both elective and GE credits.</p>
<p>Enjoy the priority boost and early access to upper division courses in impacted schools as it’ll be impossible to get core requirements with freshman standing.</p>
<p>P.S. I do not know your major, but CPP and Sac State are the only schools in California with the specific electrical engineering concentration that I am in :D</p>
<p>the thing is that this school will give you credit to be considered a junior but you won’t really be. You’ll likely be somewhere around the status of a first or second semester sophomore if you get full marks on your exams this year.
I took more classes than you, got 4s on a couple and 5s on a majority and got about second semester sophomore status.
You’ll be like a first semester sophomore because you have about a year and a half of credits knocked out but I don’t know how many are actually usable at your school’s General Education Program. Definitely would not get near junior status except for the official status they give you.</p>
<p>I took 11 AP exams and entered college with 46 credits for reference.</p>
<p>Your school is just unusual with how they give out credits. Most schools have classes that are 3-4 credits and an AP exam may give you one or two classes (APUSH could knock out American history 1 & 2).</p>
