I have another question(s) similar to galoisien. I will have about 54 credits from AP classes and the website states:
"The University of Virginia awards advanced standing credit (course exemption and academic credit hours) or Advanced Placement (course exemption but no credit hours) to entering students who have qualifying scores on the Advanced Placement (AP) tests. Students may receive credit in any academic discipline in which an AP test is offered so long as they take the test prior to matriculating into U.Va."
Advanced Placement (AP) Exam Credit — College of Arts & Sciences, U.Va.
If I applied all 54 of those (I know 60 is the limit), then would I start out as a second semester freshman? Also, if I do take the credit for those classes, then would I be given some sort of grade or would I just be exempt from introductory courses? I'm really not familiar with this process and the website is somewhat confusing. (to me, anyway) I wanted to double major in two of the more selective majors at UVa so the credit would come in handy.
Also, for bio and chem, it says no laboratory credit is given. Would I fulfill lab requirements with another class altogether or are intro bio/chem lab required? If so, how would I fulfill them without having to take the lecture portion? For a bio major (specifically, neuro) is there a cap on the amount of credit I can get through AP classes to fulfill major requirements?
Yeah so I think that's it for now. Thank you in advance for anyone who tackles my questions.
