30 Transfer Credits?

<p>I hope someone here in the college confidential community can help me answer this question…</p>

<p>As of this moment, I’m a freshman student at UNR and I’m applying as a transfer student to USC. As I filled out the application, I realized that I was not required to input my SAT score if I had at least 30 transferable credits. Well, I completed 19 credits at my university during the fall semester, however, I also have AP credits. I passed 8 AP exams in high school, which could give me a maximum of 32 credits. Adding all my college credits, this would definitely exceed the amount of transferrable credits required to allow me NOT to submit my SAT scores. Due to the fact that I did not do so well on the SATs, I would not feel comfortable sending it to USC. So my question is, do my AP scores qualify as transferable credits that would allow me NOT to submit my SATs scores?</p>

Advanced Placement (AP) and International
Baccalaureate (IB) credits: We accept
a combined maximum of 32 units from college
courses and/or examinations. Test results
must be sent directly to USC from the testing
agency. The credits will appear on your
transfer credit report.
• AP: You receive 4 elective units for each score
of 4 or higher (for exams taken Spring 2008
or earlier, credit is awarded for scores of 3 or
higher, except for Computer Science). General
Education credit is available for Category I
with a score of 4 or higher in Art History and
European History, and for Category III with
a score of 4 or higher in Biology, Chemistry or
Physics. The three-semester foreign language
requirement is fulfilled with a score of 4 or
5 on a foreign language AP exam (not Latin).

College courses taken during high school:
We accept a maximum of 16 elective units,
included in the 32-unit combined maximum
for AP/IB credits. These courses must be taught
by college faculty on a college campus, and
appear on your college transcript as part of
the regular college curriculum. They can fulfill
General Education categories I, II, III or V
(see page 11); they cannot fulfill the writing,
diversity or language requirements.

<p>Credits in progress count towards the 30 credit minimum thing. I asked my regional counselor dude about it earlier this year and it’s to make sure that you’re enrolled at your current school as a full-timer.</p>

<p>You my want to check about the AP credit. My son got credit for only one out of 6 AP classes towards his degree. The rest can count as elective credit but he only has one elective out of 4 years.</p>
