I think I should correct an earlier misstatement on this thread concerning the benefit of AP/IB Credits as they relate to the assignment of registration times.
AP and IB Credits DO NOT factor into prioritizing ISIS Registration assignment times.
This is a result of changes recommended by the ISIS System Task Force last year; said changes became effective with this year's registration process.
This change levels the playing field for incoming UVa students who had limited access to AP or IB courses in their high school programs.
Personally I think the new system is much fairer than the old one, although the change obviously didn’t sit well with students who came into UVa with several AP/IB credits.
