UT Design/ APs & Collegenow

<p>Hi, I am currently a junior, and I am pretty clueless about the college process, but I know I am interested in the design program at UT Austin.</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about the design program at UT Austin?
Is it hard to get into? </p>

<p>Also, (I don't know if this has been answered somewhere else),
which option saves more money/time etc.,:
a College Now English at school or the English Lit AP.</p>

<p>and should I take AP Calculus AB or AP Stats?</p>

<p>Thankyou</p>

<p>I have no clue what a college now English is.</p>

<p>AP Lit is 3 hours. However, in the long run, you are going to want to stay for 4 years unless you are seriously cash strapped. It's hard to be in that position, though, because UT will give you money if you are destitute.</p>

<p>The English Lit AP test is worth 3 English credits but you can't be sure you will get a 4 on the English Lit AP test and you need a 4 for the 3 credits. Do most of the kids from your school who take AP English Lit get 4's or 5's?</p>

<p>It is good that you only need a 3 for 3 credits for AP Stats or 4 credits for AP Calc AB. If you take the class and do the work, you should be able to get a 3 on the AP test.</p>

<p>Here are the scores needed for each AP test:
AP</a> Cut Scores</p>

<p>English College now is a dual credit course offered at my school, and the grade supposedly transfers to college rather than just a credit with the APs.</p>

<p>But I just figured out that its credit for English Language,
which I already have credit for with my SAT writing score. woops :p
Thanks though!
I think I'll take the Language AP and Calc AB next year.</p>

<p>UT does not transfer grades from other colleges to your UT GPA. The grades will be on your UT transcripts as "CR." They may, however, be sent with your transcript.</p>

<p>Not all credit transfers, there is a transfer credit website that you can use to check if it will.</p>

<p>Is College now from a specific college? If it's a Texas community college it usually transfers.</p>
