Questions about AP courses

<p>This year (sophomore year) I took two AP classes, Euro and English Language, and got a 4 on both of them. I was wondering, will the scores give me credit if I go to Cornell, and, how will these be viewed? good or bad? will they take into account that they were my first APs and I was a sophomore?</p>

<p>those are definitly good ap scores…you get 3 credit hours for english, and 4 for Euro. I’m sure cornell will view them as good. </p>

<p>PS. having taken the AP Euro test…nice job on getting a 4. i heard it was actually a lot harder than last year’s, because they took off the guessing penalty this year</p>

<p>For the English you will not place out of anything (you would have needed a 5), but the Euro is good.</p>

<p>Here is the general guide for placement via AP’s: [Credit</a> and Placement](<a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/information/orientation/credit.cfm]Credit”>http://as.cornell.edu/information/orientation/credit.cfm)</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick responses, would these scores be looked at in a good way or a bad way?</p>

<p>you’re using the guide for college of arts and sciences, i’m using the one for agriculture and life sciences, at <a href=“http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/current/registrar/current-students/upload/Advanced-Placement-2010_2011-2.pdf[/url]”>http://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/current/registrar/current-students/upload/Advanced-Placement-2010_2011-2.pdf&lt;/a&gt; . </p>

<p>so i’m guessing there’s probably no policy applying to the ENTIRE university.</p>

<p>No, they certainly will not detract any from your application. You are fine.</p>

<p>agreed with mxmmstudent, they’re pretty great scores.</p>

<p>thanks guys, and thats good about the different standards per college, because I was leaning towards CALS anyway.</p>

<p>CALS tends to be very flexible with its requirements, so I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
