Hi guys, I'm taking several AP courses this year, and I'd like to know what my options are regarding credit at different colleges I'm considering. How can I find out which AP credits a specific college accepts, and is there an easy way to compare credit policies across multiple institutions? Thanks!
Hello! It's great that you're taking multiple AP courses and considering their impact on your college experience. To find out which AP credits a specific college accepts, you can typically visit the college's website and search for their 'Advanced Placement (AP) credit policy' or 'AP exam credit policy.' The details of these policies will be provided, often including a chart or table outlining the required scores and corresponding course credits.
To compare credit policies across multiple institutions, one way is to visit the College Board's AP Credit Policy Search tool (https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/getting-credit-placement/search-policies). This tool allows you to search for individual colleges and provides their AP credit policies. Keep in mind that the information in this tool might not always be up to date, so it's always best to double-check with the college's website directly if you have any doubt.
Good luck with your AP courses and college search!
