You will get out of bio, but you will still have to do a life science requirement.

honestly, the new requirement system for the college makes AP credits useless...unless they are part of your major in which case you should still take the entry level course because the AP doesn't offer as much (or maybe I should say they focus on different things? it really depends) as an intro college class.

Will it do me any good to take the AP World or AP Physics C exams? I probably want to major in Chemistry or Economics or Computer Science. Even if the credit does not go towards the distributional requirements, does it still go towards graduating (as in fewer electives so I can take fewer classes each semester)?

Take Physics C. I wouldn't bother with AP World. World'll give you a free elective credit, but you'll have no problem filling out free electives, while here, and they aren't required for graduation anyways.
