<p>On that note, as a CALS student, what good would it do me to take AP English and AP US Gov? Do they just go to elective credits or something?</p>

<p>For gsiddarth: I used AP English to place out of communications, but it can also be used to place out of a writing seminar (3 credits) and I used US History and Euro History to place out of social science distributions. AP US gov may also work for a social science distribution requirement. You may want to contact the CALS advising office to clarify, but I think that both of those APs will help fulfill requirements.</p>

<p>in engineering thee is no limit to ap credit, as far as I can tell from the table here</p>
