Default What credit hours do I allot for each AP credits?


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
This is how AP credits appear on my transcript.



Apparently I have total of 38 units of credit and there are 6 AP courses that I got credit for...

For each AP credits, how many quarter hours am I suppose to give?

For the reference, these are the scores I got on my AP test

AP Compsci - 4
AP Euro- 3
AP US- 3
AP Bio- 5
AP Econ- 3
AP Calc BC- 3

Thanks in advance...

This might depend on your school's policy. Some schools are more rewarding to AP scores and accept 3's to 5's nearly the same way.

Some schools are more stern and give more credit/exemptions to higher scores.

Other schools are really strict and won't accept anything but a 4 or 5, or sometimes only 5's.

Bio 101 is an easy A.

Calculus and Economics too, somewhat...

Default What I learned.

This will depend on if it was awarded as credit on your transcript and how they awarded. Technically, I had 15 cr of AP but my school only granted me 9 cr on my transcript. They didn't list for what courses but I know. On AMCAS (called), they told me to put AP Credit: Course Name and evenly distribute the credits. On TMDSAS (called), because they didn't list which courses, I was told put AP Credit, GEN/AP for course prefix, 1 for course #, AP Credit General for course name, 9 for credit hours, put CR for grade. I don't know what the Osteo app will ask for because it opens tomorrow. Hope this helps.
