AP Classes: What are some of the reasons why you're taking it?

I hope this link works on this site, if not you can google ap credit under transfer policies and find it:

<p>I am an electrical/electronics engineering major at Sacramento State University.
It isn’t very prestigious, so they are very generous with AP credit (this is class standing, not the level of courses I’m taking)
An AP will get you anywhere from 6 to 8 semester units, 90 being the requirement to be senior standing (120 to graduate), I took 15 AP tests + 8 units of additional transfer. --AP tests are somehow exempt from the test credit limit of 30 units (<a href=“http://catalog.csus.edu/current/first%20100%20pages/academicpolicies.html#CredExam”>http://catalog.csus.edu/current/first%20100%20pages/academicpolicies.html#CredExam&lt;/a&gt;)
It is possible to graduate in 2 years in a smaller major, however I’m going for 3 in engineering.</p>

<p>–The APs got rid of most of my GEs and gave me the head start in mathematics I need to graduate fast (physics C would’ve been nice, but oh well)</p>

<p>At a California State University, class standing is very important. If you’re a freshman or sophomore, you will be struggling to get all of your classes. If you have senior standing in a non-impacted major, then you get all of your classes. ~Perks of not going for the more prestigious universities like most people with ridiculous AP credit do.</p>
