<p>Is there a limit in the amount of college classes you can take before college?</p>
<p>By the time I apply, I would have completed 5 college classes(all around 3-5 units).</p>
<p>Should I take the AP test for some of them(such as Macro)? USC has a limit on the amount of college classes you can take for credit.</p>
<p>I'm sure that depends on the school. Some colleges are very liberal with the number of outside credits they accept, and others not so much. However many colleges have residency requirements of at least two years worth of work.</p>
<p>You can take as many as you want, but each school differs in whether any of the credits can be used in their schools.</p>
<p>For instance, UVA allows you to transfer many AP/college course credits. It allowed one kid to graduate in one year. On the other hand, some schools allow you only to use 2-3 of your credits within their schools.</p>
<p>If you think that you are prepared for the AP exam, then take it.</p>
<p>Most schools have a point where you'll be a transfer student if you are taking full-fledge college courses (at UVa, students with 24 credits are considered transfers).</p>
<p>We're seeing more students taking advantage of programs that allow high school students to get Associates degrees by the end of senior year. Those students only have to do two years at UVa, which saves them a lot of money and time, but it also means they miss out on all the things that come with being a freshman (orientation, housing in first-year residence halls, etc.).</p>
<p>Let's see how much college credit I'll have:</p>
<p>Classes/ Units
Fren 101: 5
Fren 102: 5
Fren 2A: 4
Fren 2B: 4
Econ 2: 3</p>
<p>I'll have 21 credits excluding AP credit.</p>
<p>I got a 4 in APUSH and a 3 in AP Bio.</p>
<p>If I were to apply to UVA or any other college, would they consider me a Sophomore, if I have 21 credits(from college classes) by the time I graduate?</p>
<p>Would I be considered an inccoming Freshman from high school?</p>
<p>I took(and I'm going to take):</p>
<p>Fren 101, Fren 102, Fren 2A, Fren 2B, Econ 2(MacroEcon) </p>
<p>I also got these scores on the AP test:</p>
<p>AP Biology: 3</p>
<p>AP US History: 4</p>

There's your answer!</p>
<p>The 3 on AP Bio won't get you credit, but the 4 on the history AP probably will. You'll still be a freshman.</p>
<p>If you're really concerned, look up the college where you took the courses in the credit analyzer on the page for transfer admission and see what those courses count for at UVa.</p>
<p>I'll have 36 units... 1+ year of college.</p>
<p>Your limit is $$$ and time - I am lucky enough to be taking all these through special $50 per unit programs.</p>

<p>Just a note- although you may get credit for all the classes, you might not get the same credits (ie 3 credits per french class rather than 5/4).</p>
