<p>This is a general question about A.P. acceptance. I saw the UVA A.P. Credit website. It said numbers like 3 for this A.P. and 6 for another. Lets just say I take all the A.P.s' (I won't do that) then will I be able to get all the credits. It come to like 70 credits or something. </p>
<p>I'm mainly asking this because I plan to take around 10 A.P.'s. Will I get all the credits that it says on the Website. Or does it stop at a few or does it matter which major you go into. This is kinda confusing. Reply Thanks.</p>
<p>That's a really good question. I think the most credits you can come in with is 60. I could be wrong. You should call the UVa Admissions Office to be sure. Their number is 434-982-3200. Their email is <a href="mailto:undergradadmission@virginia.edu">undergradadmission@virginia.edu</a>.</p>
<p>also if you take enough ap's i t hink u can skip a year. a person i know had taken a lot of ap exams and she skipped freshman y ear</p>
<p>With most schools, and UVa is no exception, there is no specific limit as to how many credits you can get for AP courses. There are about 30 credits in the first year, so you could easily enter with sophomore standing. At some point you begin to reach the limit of credits you can enter with as a transfer student. I suspect this is 60 credits (about 2 years of coursework). </p>
<p>The real problem is not the credits, but the curriculum. Your major might not require two calculus courses, or four humanities courses (at 100 or 200 level). My son is in the e-school, and there are only so many "unlimited" electives. There are science and technical electives, but many of these must be at beyond the first-year level. I suspect many majors would be equally restrictive.</p>
<p>If you're really pumped to maximize the use of APs, you could go for a "University Studies" major. </p>
<p>But, in the end, why grab for all those credits? University is different from high school. My kids (and I) all wished we could spend MORE time at college, not less!</p>

<p>redbeard: you have nice kids and all but a lot of people cant afford to pay for 4 years of college and many would like to pursue advanced studies... in advance</p>
<p>a tutor of mine once suggested that you come in with max credits then spread out your course load over 4 years. this way you get the whole college experience and a lot less work.</p>
