<p>This is for my friend. These are not my stats. I know this may be a little difficult, but please try and approximate how much credit he will receive in Berkeley as an incoming freshmen. </p>

<p>19 AP's: All 5's, except for one 4 in Chemistry. </p>

<p>Full IB Diploma:
Overall score of 43. All 7's, except for one 5 in Math SL. </p>

<p>23 units worth of credit from community college. all classes are transferable into the UC system. </p>

<p>How much credit would he receive / what standing would he receive ?</p>

<p>Could he possibly graduate in 2 years?</p>

<p>You literally need to to state all the APs he has taken and the same for all of the IB exams to figure out how many units can be given out. Also each College (L&S, CoE, and etc.) has particular criteria for AP and IB units. </p>

<p>If all he had all his units transferable then he should have at least junior standing and possibly senior standing. It is possible that some of the AP and IB units would be not be accepted since there would be overlap with the other test.</p>

<p>Graduating in 2 years is pretty difficult even if you come in with 60 units since there are many required classes for each major that have to be taken at Berkeley that you can't AP out of.</p>

<p>Do you personally know, or have heard of anyone, who has graduated in less than 2 years? ( like 1 or 1.5 years)</p>

<p>Is there any disadvantage to graduating very quickly? Besides the decrease in time to do EC, research, etc.</p>

<p>Close. I know a math major who had the choice to graduate at the end of her sophomore year, but she chose not to.</p>

<p>Really? What was her reason not to?</p>

<p>graduating early isn't always a good thing</p>
