AP Credits and U0/U1

As far as I know, whether you start as U0 or U1 is completely out of your hands. The admission officers decide that on the basis of the credits and courses you have taken in your high school. However I think it is possible to take an extra year if you want one.

Also if you have already done an AP course, you are not allowed to take up the equivalent university course. For example if you have done the AP Calculus AB/BC you wouldn’t be allowed to take Math 139/140 in your freshman years. So if you’re planning to take on McGill’s introductory courses which overlap your AP curriculum, that’s not possible (at least not for credit).
