<p>hi,</p>

<p>so i'm very behind on scheduling, since i haven't gotten back my AP scores yet... but i have a couple of questions that i was hoping somebody could help me answer!</p>

<ol>
<li><p>i've taken both calc AB and calc BC, however, i took those classes back in freshman/sophomore year and i got only a 4 on the AP test. should i just retake calc @ penn, or relearn the material and try to test out? i'm not majoring in anything near math, in fact, i can't stand it.</p></li>
<li><p>i'm considering trying to transfer to wharton next year, or dual degree wharton/ppe. is that dual degree nearly impossible without lots of AP credit? so far i only have world history and english, and i doubt i'll get any more.</p></li>
<li><p>i'm trying to test out of the FL requirement as much as i can. I can speak chinese semi-fluently, not really, and cannot write it. does taking the chinese class for learning how to read and write cut down on the required four classes?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<li><p>You need Math 104 (BC) to transfer into Wharton. You need Math 114 if you want to take an econ track in PPE and take intermediate/upper level econ courses. I would start out in Math 104 and see where that takes you.</p></li>
<li><p>It is possible, but it will take some extra planning to graduate in 4 years. Get into Wharton before worrying about it too much. Doing a dual degree is easier if you pass out of econ, math, stat, and foreign language. That takes out about 1.5-2 semesters worth of courses compared to someone who came in with none of that credit.</p></li>

<p>okay thanks! one more question: what classes are half credit? i’m taking ethics, math 104, freshman seminar, and microeconomics, which i’m guessing is not a tough courseload at all… so i’m looking to find a .5 cu class… any suggestions?</p>

<p>You can get .5 credit for labs.</p>
