I want to save money using AP scores

Will I be able to skip a semester or so by getting a 4 or 5 in AP physics 1 and AP calculus ab. My major is Architectural Engineering.I am an Indian and would probably try for Purdue,Cal Poly Slo,CU Boulder and Penn State.
My SAT score is 1580.Will Admission offices overlook my SAT score if I score well in AP and have a good GPA.I am bonne apply ad an Intl. Student.

AP scores usually don’t factor much into college admissions. In terms of credit, see each university’s website regarding AP scores. However Physics 1 and Calculus AB isn’t really a full semester’s worth.

I suggest retaking the SAT (or ACT) to improve your score, if you can.

Is that a 1580 CR+M or 1580 cumulative?

^it is probably cumulative, since it doesn’t make sense to “overlook” a 1580 CR+M score with good GPA.
