<p>Will I get my admission rescinded if I wrote on my application that I was planning on taking an AP test (English lit) but choose not to now? I really didn't think it mattered at all since it's just elective credit, but someone told me I should be reporting it to them in writing.</p>
<p>lol, funny. It doesn't matter at all.
Where the heck in your application did you mention this anyway?</p>
<p>ive a question actually,
do the admissions ever rescind an acceptance based on IB/AP scores? say if they are much lower than expected scores?</p>
<p>It was a section of the Common App, I think. APs you took/planned to take.</p>
<p>^ And I'm pretty sure they don't care one bit if you get 1s on every test.</p>
<p>That's absolutely right, they're not going to care, much less rescind your admission due to your decision not to take an AP test tomorrow.</p>
<p>But I'm going to anyway; why, I don't know...</p>
<p>i called and asked and they said there's no downside to taking it</p>
<p>And what about to not taking it?</p>
<p>You guys are being ludicrous. Do you understand that at NU, you need 45 classes to graduate. Even if these APs don't fulfill certain requirements, they count toward the 45. If you come in with 8 units, then you have that many courses less to take. I came in with 6 and only took 39 courses at NU. there was no need to take more. I graduated on time, taking fewer courses than most kids. I went to Duke for my J.D.</p>
<p>NUGrad,</p>
<p>That's not the case these days anymore. The APs are used to allow you to take harder courses, not replacing units these days.</p>
<p>Sam Lee, I am afraid your are wrong. APs can definetely replace units. The only restriction is that only 2 distros can be replaced whereas as before, you could use APs to get out of as many as you wanted. The APs definetely replace units. In fact, they have no restriction on the number of units you replace.</p>
<p>A student entering as a freshman may gain exemption from the required residency by up to four quarters through any combination of a maximum of 12 credits earned through the Advanced Placement or the International Baccalaureate programs; a maximum of 12 credits earned through approved study abroad; credits earned through "credit by examination" at Northwestern; credits earned at Northwestern through less than full-time enrollment; and a maximum of four transfer credits from other (domestic) colleges or universities earned at any time prior to the final three quarters of residence. Each four such credits confer one-quarter exemption from the URR.</p>
<p>does anybody know northwestern's policy on CLEP examinations</p>
<p>lol. oh well, whatever.</p>
<p>anybody? help is appreciated</p>
