<p>I am singed up for the June 6-9 orientation and realized that my ap scores will not be released by then. How will I be awarded credit or placed into classes? Do I get to just estimate my score?haha I got 21 credits from AP's junior year and will get up to 30 this year if I do well on all of them but estimate I will only get 20 more credits (not too likely that I will get the required 5 on both Physics C mechanics and Electricity/Magnetism).</p>
<p>What have students in this situation done in the past and what resulted?</p>
<p>Any advice related to signing up for classes or just for a senior entering Umich next year would be sincerly appreciated.</p>
<p>You estimate your scores the best you can, and register for classes based on that.</p>

<li><p>Try very, very hard get 5’s on Physics C, especially if you’re going to be taking any physics classes at UM. If you can’t, a 5 on Mech and a 1 on E/M is fifty times better than 4’s on both.</p></li>
<li><p>Google stuff and send a quick email the right people whenever you want course advice or anything else.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for all the advice especially letting me know I should focus on one of the two physics tests if need be to get the 5 … I will try my best on it I was wondering if I already took Physics B and got a 4 if that somehow effects things. I see that If I got a 5 on physics B I would have gotten 10 credits as opposed to 5. If I get a 4 or 5 on the Physics C would I be elligible to get more partial credit from the B class?</p>
<p>If I were able to get the 5’s on both physics C tests and I then had 51 credits would it be plausible to complete everything else in 2 years. If this is possible is it a bad idea for some reason?</p>
<p>A lot of this will depend what the credits are for and what U-M gives you for it. Often it gives general elective credit which counts for nothing but the 120 credits you need for graduation but does nothing to satisfy distribution, RE, FYWR, ULWR and concentration requirements. Also it pushes you into upper division tuition ealry.</p>
<p>Yes, if your major is easy (not engineering, CS, or hard math/science), 2 years instead of 4 will be perfectly possible with heavy courseloads, summer classes, AP credits, and strict, strict planning. I would meet with the appropriate adviser as soon as you get to UM to discuss the details. Typically, advising appointments are made online through the department website or via email.</p>
<p>However, you may be making a big mistake in the long run, in perspective of your 70+ year lifetime. They say youth is wasted on the young… But it’s hard to see it now.</p>

<p>any further insight would be greatly appreciated…</p>

<p>Will it be possible? If you want to take 18 credits a semester 3 semesters a year for 2 years you would have 108 credits on campus. You can probably fulfill all the requirements in that. So as long as you have no cares about trying to do any specific major or care about any specific classes you probably could do it in 2 years. </p>
<p>This is an awful idea and you should just give it up. You will not end up being able to take advanced classes in your major. You will be flat out shutting yourself out of many majors (it will be literally impossible to major in pretty much any engineering major due to the longer prerequisite chains, probably shut yourself out of many LSA majors too). You’re not going to be getting internships in the summer, you’re not going to have as much time to build a resume, everything you take will be just to fill some requirement.</p>
