Having AP/GE credits used to be helpful in order to double major and meet the 270 credit requirement.



That requirement was removed for anyone who entered MIT in Fall 2008 or after. You now just need to complete the GIRs and the requirements for both majors.

As cellardweller said, outside of math or physics, APs won’t really help you. General elective credit means that maybe you can have a term or two of 3 classes instead of 4, but most people won’t do that anyway :D
