on AP credit / advance standing for YALE!!!

<p>i figure that i'd probably get 13 "credits" according to Yale's AP credit conversion chart if god finds my puny life amusing. now, what does this mean? how much credit is needed to skip one semester? one year?</p>

<p>don't bother.</p>

<p>you don't want to skip a semester.</p>

<p>you certainly don't want to skip a year.</p>

<p>in fact, you're probably going to want to stay longer because it's pretty ****ing awesome.</p>

<p>the only thing that AP credit really helps with is if you want status with a higer class for housing for some reason (to get off campus sooner i guess)</p>

<p>other than that, it's pretty useless except in determining placement for classes, in my experience, and it seems like you ought to be able to do that without an AP test. but i don't have much experience with it in the sciences. </p>

<p>anyhow. that's all</p>
