<p>What? You don’t want those pointless awards from the College board that say you are an “AP Scholar With Distinction”.</p>
<p>You can only get 4 credits to cover classes, but some tests will remove requirements or do placements, while others are blank credits. Unless you already have an AP Credit in Latin (isn’t their more than one, like Vergil or something), you can get higher placement in Latin or a removal of the language requirement.</p>
<p>Although if you are taking AP Latin, you will probably not test into beginning Latin anyway, so your language requirement will not take two years to fulfill, but probably one semester. Also, if you get AP Credit for Latin, and take even one semester of Latin at Wellesley, you will actually fulfill your language requirement.</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better I
-took seven AP exams
-received a full year’s worth (8 units, BC calc = 2 units) of credit from Wellesley
-received AP credit in place of my QR overlay requirment
-fulfilled the langauge requirement based on both my SAT II scores and my AP scores (only the SAT II would have done it on the new system)</p>
<p>and when arriving at Wellesley, I
-took two courses that fullfilled the QR overlay requirement ( you need one, sadly two are required for my major)
-took three French classes (one would have done the requirment at my level)
-have an additional semester’s worth of credit’s from two semester’s worth of 5 classes and WAY too many lab units.</p>
<p>-have chosen to graduate in the normal 8 semesters and not advanced despite the fact that I have an extra year and a half worth of credits</p>
<p>If it makes you feel any better, you get to say you are one of the 5 best Latin students in your county. And not taking the AP exam really undermines the validity of taking an AP course, even though admissions don’t really consider the sorces.</p>
