<p>Does anyone have information on HOW Cornell awards credits for IB and AP classes and community college credits?</p>
<p>what on earth do you mean by "HOW"??</p>
<p>usually they just award you credit (like 3 credits that cover intro writing) so you take the next writing class. GPA doesn't transfer or anything. Another way to put it, say you need 120 credits to graduate: an AP exam may take care of 3 of those so now you need 117 credits to graduate.</p>
<p>By HOW . . . I mean, what score do I need to get on the exam (IB and AP) to get the credit hours? </p>
<p>What's the max amount of credit hours I can use from high school and community college?</p>
<p>SL or HL exams for IB?</p>
<p>What documentation from community college?</p>
<p>most AP things you'll need a 5, some you'll need a 4 or 5 and it varies by major, class, etc. </p>
<p>there's not necessarily a max. Where did you take the community college classes? On campus?</p>
<p>You'll only get credit for IB HL courses. 6 or 7, depending on the course. </p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>gomestar - I'm taking BC calc at school right now and the local community college (Red Rocks) will award a semester (5 credits) to you if you formally enroll the class, but you don't have to ever set foot on campus. The purpose of this is so that you get credit without having to take the BC test (in case you bomb it). Taking the test would be 2 semesters and doing this thing with Red Rocks would be 1 semester (so long as you get an A or B or both semesters).</p>
<p>Wow, thanks for the site indigo! Very helpful!</p>
<p>For CALS (and I think this applies to all colleges at Cornell) in order to receive college credit for course taken in high school, you actually have to attend the class on a college campus and get a C- or higher. But as long as you have an official college transcript...you should be ok :-)</p>
<p>yeah, you have to take the class on the college campus - my gf had a few classes like that and she tried to "sneak" them in by just sending transcripts her junior year at Cornell, and they declined the credits</p>
<p>How about testing out of a class during orientation?</p>
<p>Do you get credits for testing out? Grade?
How much does it cost per test?</p>
<p>Calculus is not listed on that chart... does that mean that even if you were to score a 4 or a 5 on the AP test, Cornell wouldn't let you place out of or into a higher level of Calculus?</p>
<p>It is listed, but under "Mathematics AB" or "Mathematics BC"</p>
<p>"testing out" doesn't give you credits for anything nor a grade ... it just tells you which class to start in at Cornell.</p>
