<p>I currently go to UCSD and I applied to la and berk for the fall 2013 term. My question is the following: If I take a class for redundant credit, and by that I mean I already pass out of it at UCSD because of AP credit, would I be exempted from the equivalent course at a school that doesn't let its students use AP credit for that course? For example, a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam exempts UCSD students from the general chemistry sequence, Chem 6A-C, but at UCLA the students are required to take the entire general chemistry sequence regardless of their AP scores. If I were to take Chem 6A here at UCSD, would this exempt me from Chem 14A (UCLA's equivalent course) even though my transcript would say redundant credit on it, the credits for the course wouldn't add to my total credit count, and it wouldn't be used to calculate my GPA? In other words, do UCLA and UCB only care that I retook the course in college, or must I have tangible credits for the course to satisfy any requirements?</p>
<p>You need to ask the target schools what the AP credit and UCSD course articulate to at those schools.</p>
<p>It may also depend on your major. For example, chemistry and chemical engineering majors at Berkeley cannot use AP chemistry credit, but other engineering majors at Berkeley can.</p>
