5 on AP = A in college?

[johnnyzxz]

<p>Let’s say I get a 5 on both AP Microeconomics and AP macroeconomics.</p>

<p>Now, let’s say I get into UT, but not into McCombs. I want to transfer to McCombs the next year.</p>

<p>I know I’m supposed to take basic business classes in order to do so (like micro and macro). But if I already have 5’s on these APs, does each 5 count as an A for the class? </p>

<p>I know I need a really high GPA to transfer into McCombs, that’s why I’m worrying if I should take AP micro and macro next year and hope to get 5s or if I should wait and take them at UT (assuming I go there)</p>

<p>AP credit does not equate to numerical grades at UT. A ‘CR’ (meaning credit) will appear on your transcript if you score a 4-5 on the AP Micro/Macro Economic exams.</p>

<p>

Credit earned by examination satisfies degree requirements in the same way as credit earned by taking a course, except that it does not count as credit earned in residence. The credit will be recorded as credit only on your transcript, with the symbol CR.

<p>Don’t wait! Skip it if you think you can score high enough! Save yourself the stress and money. I wish I could have been able to skip more stuff.</p>
