My son (who is an incoming freshman) just received his AP scores today, and he sent the report to Poly. How and when do they evaluate these scores relative to credits toward your degree and the fall quarter schedule? I am particularly interested in the Calculus BC exam credits. He scored a 5, and would be eligible to skip straight to Calc 3, but he is considering taking Calc 2. Will someone in the academic advising department be contacting him to evaluate his options, or do they just assume that you want to go to Calc 3? Same question on Physics C - Mechanics, where he scored a 4.
