<p>so w/o AP credits, i could only take chem/math 1st quarter?</p>
<p>and by AP calc, do u mean AB or BC? btw, i don't think i'm going to take the AP tests for chem; i heard that AP physics B credit only gives you units?</p>

<p>Not really, guys. No grad/professional schools will see what you put on your application when you applied to UCSD that goes on your transcript. I doubt they'd ask UCSD to send them your college application from 4 years back.</p>
<p>I withheld all the scores applicable to pre-med requirements and retook the classes here, got credit and a GPA (although it was a biatch for enrollment times since I didn't have any units). On my transcript, it doesn't say anything about whether or not I took AP tests in Calc and Bio and whatnot. Nothing happened to me; UCSD didn't kick me out for "lying" to them on the application (which I essentially did by saying on my application that I took certain AP tests and then I never reported them to UCSD after getting accepted). I just seem super smart according to my transcript. ;)</p>
<p>wouldn't u say that was more luck than actual protocol?
and how is the enrollment crap handled? like does it go by how many credits one has?</p>
<p>why would it be luck? i had a pretty good feeling that my plan would work out.</p>
<p>enrollment sucked a lot because i kept thinking, "if i had those AP units, i'd be enrolling today instead of next week..." and the classes i got didn't have the times i wanted or the teachers i wanted, necessarily. i got about 2nd-last choice, but rarely 1st choice (1st choice, of course, being a combination between time + professor)</p>
<p>well b/c u withheld them, and i thought that in the end they still see all of your scores</p>
<p>does everyone at least ultimately wind up w/ their classes?</p>
<p>yes, just don't be picky with the times or professors too much.</p>
<p>try to get a few units in so that you're not dead last. stuff like ap us history or ap stats or ap spanish...or community college units.</p>
<p>i know that for GE, u have to complete up to spanish 4d or something? how much is AP spanish lang. worth? (note, lang not literature)</p>
<p>and i'm planning on taking AP Bio, psych, maybe physB & calc </p>
<p>is it 4 units/ test or does it depend?</p>
<p>ucsdhopeful did you withdraw scores of tests that you'd already taken and put the scores down? Because, if so, I don't know how you got away with that. It seems like fraud to me. One of the AP scores I self reported wasn't on my score report because of a mixup. They called me on it. They do notice these things. </p>
<p>If we're talking about tests that you said you'd take in the future, I can see how they might accept a withdraw (should verify this though).</p>
<p>yeah but what about taking the tests, getting a good score, but not wanting to use credits? can u clarify this?</p>
<p>and how many units/test?</p>
<p>If you withdraw the scores within the withdraw deadline you will be fine. Admissions don't care if you pass or not. Your admissions is in no way contingent on AP scores. You are not required to even take them. All you would have to tell the office if they questioned you about the scores is that you opted not to take the tests. If you take the test you can't pick and choose which ones get reported. When you request your AP report be sent to your college it is all or nothing. YOU CAN"T GET CREDIT FOR THE SAME CLASS TWICE. You don't even turn in the scores to your campus the report is sent directly via College Board. Honestly how many times do you need to have the same answer to the same question.</p>
<p>"One of the AP scores I self reported wasn't on my score report because of a mixup. They called me on it. They do notice these things."</p>
<p>They noticed in this situation because you reported the score. If you withdraw the score (or don't take the test at all) and don't report scores on your application you won't have any calls. (you also won't have any scores to report) Once you take the test and get a score you are required to report it.</p>
<p>Maybe I slipped through the cracks since I had good GPA/SAT/etc. already that they didn't bother to look at the AP tests. I took AP tests, self-reported them...and later hid the score from UCSD. I guess maybe in this case, YMMV?</p>
<p>Was the score(s) a 2 or 1? I'm not clear did you just report some of the scores or did you have only one?</p>
<p>i got 3 and 5 on the two scores i withheld. these i told to ucsd that i had received the 3 and 5 when i was applying.</p>
<p>What Bio courses at UCSD qualify as Pre-Med requirement to forfill One Year bio?</p>
<p>mm this this quite confusing. so if we got a 5 on the AP chem and AP bio test, we should still take the Chem 61bc and bild series? if the AP scores cleared us from taking the series, med schools still want to see us taking the class? cant we just take a higher division class?</p>
<p>my counselor told me to go into physics 1a/al if I got a 5 on the AP chem, but to take CHem 6b if I got a 4. since getting a 5 clears me from the chem 6 series, i dont understand why we have to take it again--is it because the class will be easier for us to get a higher grade because we aced the ap test? or is it because med schools actually want us taking it no matter what?</p>
<p>thanks again, and sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>dude, read the old posts!</p>
<p>SOME med schools require one year of lower-division chem. AP credit doesn't count. graduating seniors have been known to take 6ABC all in one go just to take care of that silly requirement.</p>
<p>@shawn78 - depends on the requirement of the school. most require one year of lower-division bio, others possibly some [upper-division] biochem.</p>
