AP Credits and U0/U1

Hey guys. So I got into McGill (Arts) and I’m probably heading to Montreal. I’m pretty stoked. One concern I have is that I have a ton of AP credit (AP US, World, Human Geo, Bio, Chem, and I’m still to take Physics B, Macro/Micro, and French.) I already have accumulated something like 20 credits because of these APs. I know they take no more than 30. But my concern is that I don’t particularly want to start as a U1. I know what I want to do (History/Econ double major) but with both of those subjects, I’d love to have at least a more introductory class under my belt to learn more about what exactly is demanded from profs/TAs in terms of writing style etc. I also would love a year/semester to transition.

Yes, it’d be great to graduate in 3 years, but I don’t mind spending a semester, or year, extra in Montreal. Especially after a pretty relaxed 4th quarter of senior year, I don’t want to feel like I’m just thrown into the fire, if that makes sense.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch.
