<p>Hi guys!</p>
<p>As a hs senior entering CoE next year, i was wondering if there is a limit as to how many AP credits we can use to waive requirements/ satisfy prerequisites.</p>
<p>I have 9~10 ap courses that can possibly be waived. (they're all on the CoE AP credits table), but do they restrict the number?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many people entering Cornell don’t have many AP credits or not at all? In other words, how many people are usually sitting in the introductory level classes?</p>

<p>bump. no one?</p>
<p>@OP, Cornell doesn’t limit the number of AP Credits you can use, to the best of my knowledge. Thus, you can generally know out 30-40 credits just through those. However, the exact amounts depends on which college you’re applying to.</p>
<p>@Sxe, generally, introductory classes are larger by nature of their material, and there are always plenty of people to fill those chairs. Though Cornell does not release its admissions statistics regarding number of AP Courses, other websites have estimated that the mean number of AP’s taken is 3.5 by attending students, so many of the students have few to none AP credits. So there should definitely be plenty of people in those introductory classes.</p>
<p>@bpsbgs & OP, Cornell does limit the number of AP credits in some colleges. In CALS, the limit when I entered was 30, so check with the College of Engineering.</p>
<p>CoE does not impose any AP Credit limits as long as they are on the table. You have to meet the score requirements though to get the credit. Although the credit is granted on the transcript it does not factor into GPA calculation. For GPA calculation the class must be taken at Cornell.</p>
<p>As an example, AP Calc BC with a 5 will get you waived out of Math 1910. You get the credit on your transcript but the score does not factor in GPA calculation. However, if you take Math 1910 which is a 4 credit class despite AP Calc BC score of 5 then you do not get credit twice. Your Math 1910 at Cornell will trump AP Calc BC and it will get you 4 credits and the GPA based on your performance.</p>
<p>Hope its clear.</p>
<p>In that case, 2coll, how about this scenario:
I got a 5 on the Calc BC exam, an A(+) in my high school/college credit Calc 3 class (I got a 99 GPA but the highest is an A, and thus the +), and if I step it up a little bit, I will also get an A(+) on my Linear Algebra class.</p>
<p>Grade wise, should I re-take the math courses from Calc BC, Calc 3, or Linear Algebra? You know, so I can [most likely] start out with an A+ in Cornell for my math GPA?</p>
<p>I think you can start with Math 1920. Skip Math 1910. You may or may not get the college credit transferred for your Linear Algebra unless you pass a departmental exam. If they waive Linear Algebra for you then you would be out of Math 2940. You still would have to take Math 1920 and Math 2930 (Diff. Eq). About Linear Algebra I would suggest that you take it at Cornell even if they waive it for you.</p>
