<p>Hey guys,
So I was recently admitted to UCLA for electrical engineering. I am currently signing up for AP exams right now and I don't know which ones to take for credit at UCLA.(for whatever courses I get credit for)</p>
<p>I can take: AP Stats, Calc BC, Econ, Gov, Environmental Science (Pretty sure about stats and calc, not sure about econ gov and environmental science)</p>
<p>I have already taken AP Eng Lang Comp, Chemistry, and APUSH and done well on them.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You get units for all of them. The only AP classes you don’t get units for are multiples in a language, calc or physics. Calc BC and Econ will get you course credit, though the units are important too.</p>

<p>The direct link to AP credits for the engineering school is [AP</a> Credit - School of Engineering and Applied Science - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditEN.htm]AP”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/APCreditEN.htm).</p>
<p>So this means that I would get course credit for all the 5 AP exams I take and I will be able to skip some classes (which is my ultimate purpose?)</p>
<p>No, you would not get course credit for most of them. Most are just empty units (potentially helps with enrollment times, but otherwise useless).</p>
<p>The ones that actually give course credit are the ones that have a number in the “Title/Course #” column. eg: Calc, Psych, English, Econ, and foreign languages. You can’t apply the course credit for a GE credit either (IIRC). So the only ones useful to you as an EE in terms of getting rid of course requirements are Calc and English.</p>
