Will a passing score on the AP test make up for a subject deficiency in an A-G required course? For example, if the student in question needed this course to fulfill her science requirements, would UC give her credit for the class if she scored a 3, 4, or 5 on the AP test, despite the "D" grade?
It is difficult to determine without the whole academic record, something to extensive to post through a forum. If the student has already met the minimum eligibility requirements then the choice is one the student will need to make. This choice involves what seems like 3.5 years of science versus 2.5 years and a choice of taking courses to help prepare for major classes. It can be a difficult choice to make. Although, any little help with the GPA is a good idea for the application process. Again, I hope this helps.
