<p>Hey all,
I noticed that you're required to take two semesters of it. I received a 5 on AP English Language, so I know that I can place out of one of them. I think I remember reading that you can't be exempted from both or that they don't recommend that you skip out on taking it. </p>
<p>If I were to get a 5 on AP English Literature, would it be meaningless in terms of credit at Cornell? Would I be able to place out of anything?</p>
<p>Yep, your correct. You can only place out of one seminar and you have already done that with a 5 on Lang.</p>
<p>I think depending on which college you will be attending, you may possibly be able to use the second AP credit as an elective credit. But you definately will have to take at least one FWS</p>
<p>Yeah whoops, I forgot to mention I’m in Arts & Sciences.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>You may have read this already, but if not worth the read. You can find this info and more at: [College</a> of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University](<a href=“http://www.arts.cornell.edu/faq.php]College”>http://www.arts.cornell.edu/faq.php)</p>
<p>If I have AP or IB credit, how will it be counted?</p>
<p>Academic credit will be awarded for certain AP or IB scores. In most cases, you will also be exempt from introductory-level classes in that subject. Detailed information on AP and IB credit is provided in Courses of Study on a subject-specific basis. If you choose to take the introductory-level course, you will forfeit the AP/IB credit. Some departments advise prospective majors to develop a firm grounding in the subject area and methodology by enrolling in the introductory survey course whether or not they have AP/IB credit; specialized advising on these questions will be offered during Orientation.</p>
<p>AP or IB credit counts as out-of-college credit toward your degree requirement, the same as taking a course at another university, or in another college at Cornell. You may earn as much out-of-college credit as you choose, but the college requires at least 100 credits to be earned in the College of Arts and Sciences. Although AP or IB credit may substitute for introductory course work, it may not be used to satisfy college distribution requirements. Only approved courses taken at Cornell may fulfill the distribution requirements.</p>
<p>I’m a terrible writer, so personally I am looking forward to the freshman seminars. I managed to scrape a decent grade (4) on the AP English Lit but I dont want to be exempted from any classes. I have a lot to learn and I want to take advantage of what Cornell has to offer. :)</p>
